I love clocks but only if they are silent. A subtle "tick tock" is fine. But my mother has a monstrous grandfather clock that bongs every 15 mins and wears on my last nerve. I will flip the lever that silences its bonging before bedtime. The cuckoo clock stopped working, mercifully, a few years ago.

I love clocks. I'd like to have one of those musical rhythm clocks, but I'm too cheap to buy one ~ LOL.

You get accustommed to the noise from clocks and it doesn't bother you anymore. Where we camp in Pa, there is a tiny little town just over a creek from our camper. Just up the hill from camp there is a church that rings out the hour , on the hour, every hour, all night. It is very loud! And, of course once it gets to the higher numbers , it rings a long time. After 7 years, though, I don't even hear the bongs anymore. When I do notice them - it just feels like a sound that goes with being home. Sometimes if weather conditions are just right - it  will echo because the town sits in a little dell amid the mountains.
