I went through this when I was 13 years old. I just could't take it
anymore; like you it kept me from falling asleep. I complained to my
mother and she gave me an old AC electric clock. Problem solved. Check
with your mother.

When I was growing up, there was this electric clock with a particularly
annoying sound. Not so much "tick tock", but wheezing. It reminded me of
a perpetually runny nose. The volume of the sound varied over a period
of about 6 seconds.
