Does the clock "tick" or is it silent?

It has a soft, unobtrusive tick. If the clock is next to your bed, you might notice it if sensitive to noise. Placed elsewhere, it is barely heard and can be put on a desk in an office.

It was quiet. The timer does not click, tick, or have an alarm. It's an internal timer. It was perfect for our office setting.

I'd worry about hearing damage, I'm always turning the metronome down myself for this reason. The "tick" is pretty sharp sounding. I'd recommend a clock with a soft ticking sound.I have the Seiko metronome which has a volume wheel on the side, not all of them do.

Very easy to set-----little knob on the back does it --answers below are correct. Only clock I've been able to set.

Mike, Definitely. While it's plugged in there isn't much of an issue; I've found if the charge runs down or if it's cold (we played ultimate outside during the fall with the clock as timekeeper) that it'll intermittently turn off/on otherwise the clock is good. I don't make much use of the buzzer option (read: I disconnected it) so I'm not sure how loud it is but it's reliable and easily reset.

It is silent. I think it is a very accurate scale and takes up little room.

There is no ticking sound! And I can tell you that I still love this timer. I also like the lack of ticking sound because you can watch tv or listen to music without distraction and still keep a track of the time with just a glance. I found the timer a bit challenging to program but once it was done for the first time it was fine.

Yes it is quiet. Never even heard it before the question was asked. It is a very quiet tick...not a click. You would have to have it located next to your pillow to even heard it tick.

Mine is quiet until it is under load. I use it as an alarm clock to wake the kids for school. Can't use it on weekends until after 9am.

Completely silent when set to not oscillate. If it is oscillating it has a quiet hum.

No. It only keeps time for set intervals, it does not function like a clock.

Yes, it does tick. After using mine approximately 5 times it broke. I wouldn't purchase another one. I bought a cube shaped timer that works extremely well. All you need to do is place the cube face up with the time that you have chosen and it will alarm at that time. Then turn the cube face up with the zero showing or use the switch to stop the alarm. Very easy.

It is very quiet, very similar with a click ticking. Is not completely silent

No there is no ticking sound. My daughter uses it for her homework and we use it in the morning to get ready for school. It works great. I do like it a lot.

It does not beep, and the "Pop-up" is pretty quiet. But the timer is clearly easy to see, and it is a count down. Still loving this product!
