[Jewelry making - Article 00018] - [Orchid] Noisy Clock

    This isn't exactly a jewelry question but ya never know who knows
    what. 

    My wife just got a nice big new alarm clock with a good ol'
    fashioned round face with hands that go around in a circle just like
    a clock 'sposed to do. Only trouble is, gee whiz, it goes tick tick
    tick all night and day just like good ol' fashioned mechanical
    clocks used to do, but it is a battery powered clock and we didn't
    anticipate this noise which we never got from the new-fangled
    digital clocks. We don't like the noise.  Not loud but it's like a
    drippy faucet, ya know. 

    So what's to do?  Is this tick tick tick put in there as a sound
    effect? Can it be defeated? Would removing the second hand make it
    go away?. 

    Thanks for the various sugestions which I know will come flooding
    in.

Marty, Sleepless in Victoria
