One of my grandmother's antique clocks being wound up a couple times - gives a low, twangy chime. You can also hear the pendulum ticking and the wind up of the chime. Recorded on a sony pcm-d50.
My mother's house is the keeper of a trend by sligh grandfather clock named bonnie. Each time i pass by it, i admire the sound. I decided to capture it. It's mostly a clean recording outside of the occasional bird chirp or atmospheric sound. Easy to clean up, edit, and loop. Enjoy!. Recorded using an oktava mk-012-01 through a focusrite scarlett 2i2 audio interface; captured at 96k 32bit float, and bounced down to 48k/24bit in pro tools on windows 11. The mic was placed about two inches away, perpendicular to the face of the clock with the dial window open. The only processing i applied was a fabfilter proq3 48db/oct low cut at 110hz to eliminate of some of the room/ac rumble.
An admittedly noisy recording of a timer ticking away. Recorded with the internal mic of a sansa clip mp3 player, held under some blankets and pillows in a vain attempt to shield some of the noise from the apartment.
1 minute of a grandfather's clock ticking in time with a swinging pendulum. Clock was mic'd from inside the case. This sound works well with subtle speed changes to match video of pendulum swing.

A higher pitch of my original thirteen-chime clock. This sound would be suitable for smaller clocks such as mantel clocks and so on. It is ideal for haunted houses and other horror works. Created in musescore using default soundfont (tubular bells) which is gnu gpl licensed.
Antique cuckoo clock gives a couple "cuckoos". For some reason the second "koo" part of the chime is missing, as explained by a voice in the background. Recorded on a sony pcm-d50.
