How much does the ticking of a clock ANNOY you?

I can’t stand it too much.

It just feels like it is hammering into my brain.

I’d never have one if I had my own home.

Yeah, loud clocks are really annoying. Especially when it’s quiet or you’re trying to fall asleep. I think I’ve got rid of all the loud clocks except one in the living room that is a little loud when it’s quiet.

I can barely stand the racket of an hourglass.

I used to have a ticking clock, used to because I couldn’t freaking sleep with it in the same room as me anymore. Once you start working and you hate your job, time becomes something you get anxious over, at least for me I did. Every night in bed tick tock and I would try to relax and just tick tock and I knew I needed to wake up and tick tock if I didn’t get enough sleep I would be miserable tick tock and I really should relax so I can snooze but tick tock

That stupid ticking made me so happy when I switched alarms.

You can at least sleep knowing when you’re drowsy and waking up dreading the alarm, that you at least GOT to sleep.

There’s a ticking clock in the kitchen and I can hear it as I type. I kind of like it actually :blush: it’s rhythmic and soothing. No problem for me.

I’m so hard of hearing that I usually can’t hear the ticking of clocks.

It is so awful I used to remove the batteries from my mom’s wall clock growing up, even though I would always get in trouble for it.

I think psychosis made ticking clocks worse. I just feel like, what if it makes a voice out of the ticking as it has in the past… Traumatic reminders…

Sounds don’t annoy me, unless someone is cranking their stereo at an ungodly volume next door. What infuriates me is when I am in the middle of typing something, and I will suddenly lose about 200 words of what I just wrote. A little flash comes on the screen, and two hundred fifty words will disappear. I interpret it as someone has hacked my computer and is doing it to harass me. I get apoplectic.
