The Time Timer website notes that this timer doesn't have a "ticking" noise while operating? Can someone who has used one confirm this?

Hi Jeremy, It does not tick. There is a on-off switch to activate a buzzer when time is over.Debbie

I ti struw it does not clik but the red dial moves down as the time is used up and then beeps. I have found it very useful with my child.

Good question. While it's counting down, it does not tick. When it isn't being used, it does make a small tick every second, but you can't hear it unless you're sitting right next to it. Once you turn it on it's completely silent.

Yes. There is no " ticking" noise. The timer is silent unless you turn on the bell to alert you there is no time remaining.

That is correct, no ticking sound. For a lot of us who use that is a good thing since it can be distracting to the little ones. If you need the ticking sound, this timer is probably not for you.
812957
This is true. It does not tick so it does not distract from things like homework time if used for that. It is a visual time marker rather than an audio one., the only sound being.the short couple of beeps when time runs out. Keep an ear out for them or you might miss it!

The Time Timer PLUS has zero ticking, plus a volume control for the alarm. I love it way more.

Mine has a very faint ticking (electric discharge) noise when in ionization mode. But it is hardly audible from 2 feet away. Manual says it is normal. As the noise does not increase or decrease and disappears once you push ion button, i too believe it is normal.

it does make a little noise when it vibrates. I haven't found a way to make it quieter. But if you wear the timer on your waistband, I am not sure they would hear it much. Otherwise it is a great product so far. I bought mine so that I could remember to time my blood sugar check after a meal (2 hour check) and when I remember to set this thing, it works good!

It is ticking, but not loud and noisy. Yes, it is noticeable in quiet room a few feet away, just like a clock. I don't think it is a problem.

Yes, it does. It beeps fairly rapidly for the first minute. After that, it beeps less often, but continues to beep. By the way, after a timer goes off, the timer actually continues to run, counting FORWARDS. So, let's say you set a timer to run for thirty minutes, and the item you're timing is supposed to be "thirty to thirty five minutes." At thirty, it goes off. And several minutes later, you come to where the timer is. You see that it went off three minutes and thirty-five seconds before you arrived, because that's what it's "counted up" to. It's the best, most fully-featured timer I've found so far. And the ability to type the numbers, rather than "click-click-click" perpetually to get to some higher number... it's a real benefit.

My original timer was fine but the replacement is very loud. The ticking can be heard in the next room. I will be switching to a solid state timer.

Yes, it does make a soft ticking sound as it turns - the turn table is based on a wind up mechanism - but the sound of the microwave cooking is louder than the soft ticking that the turntable makes.

Yes, Meishka, the timer clicks while toasting but not too loudly . It dings once when time is up.

Yes, I hear ticking from time to time. The light it really low, I can only use it with my boys at night. Even then the light does not always work.

I have to respectfully disagree with the comment from NM Norma. Maybe she has an older or different version of this timer. I have a recent version, approximately one month old, and it beeps non-stop until I hit the reset button. I find this to be a very helpful feature. It's also pretty loud, but not TOO loud. I'm not sure if it would be loud enough to be heard from upstairs, especially if there are a lot of other noises in the house, but the great thing is that it has a belt clip so you can simply take it with you wherever you go. :)

Yes. It's a soft ticking sound, but you can hear it. The toaster always has a ticking sound but if you use the oven without the timer, there is no ticking sound (the heating elements do make a soft humming sound).

Have about ten of these timers in use but have never experienced the problem you write about. It does read as if you have unfortunately received a defective one.

I Put four of these fifteen minute twist timers in my home. they do make a slight clicking sound as they count down, but the fan motor is far louder then the clicking from the switch, when they time out and turn off the switch does make a little louder off click. I use these switches for for three bathrooms and one laundry room, and the slight sounds made by the switch are a fraction of the sound that the fans make. It doesn't bother our family. I hope this helps you. Jerry W., Moreno Valley, Ca.

The time wheel does not move at all! Doesn't matter if the tab is against it or not. I can hear the motor running, it just won't turn the dial. I've had pretty good experience with Intermatic timers in the past, I guess this is just a bad one. I order the exact same one as a replacement. J France

How much noise does it make ?? This is an electronic timer and I don't think it makes anymore noise than the audible click you may here when it is programmed to turn on (or off). You may have it confused with analog timers that make a slight rattling noise as long as they are plugged in. This timer is very quiet.

I have not had any problems. Is this timer new, or has it been working ok until now? If new, I would double check wiring, and if ok, would assume its defective.

I bought the Blue Moon Timer and Stopwatch instead because I wanted the sound only when the timer went off. I don't believe the Conair worked silently. I like the Blue Moon timer very much. It has a three-tone chime when the timer goes off. Students in my class like it too.
