I have a clock that ticks and chimes on th quarter hour.Â* After 40 years
I don't notice it much but I still like the sound.Â* If I wake during the

Some people are annoyed, I find it more soothing.

I remember visiting my mother's parents, who came from Germany and have
a cuckoo clock that cuckoos the hour. It was just on the other side of
the wall from where I slept. I got used to that.
