![]() ![]() This option may be particularly appealing if you're into DIY projects. This should be done with care since you don't want to affect how the gears move or have them blocked by the foam. ![]() When you know that your clock is working fine you can then go in and add insulating foam around the internal mechanisms in order to dampen sound. Add oil as needed, but be mindful that more isn't necessarily better. Once oiled, let the clock sit for at least 15 minutes or more to make sure that it's running correctly. If you've got a clock manual, it may diagram the maintenance to go about keeping your clock in good working shape, not to mention keeping the gears running quietly. Use appropriate clock oil for the gears, since any substitute oil like WD-40 can actually ruin the gears. The gears inside may need some lubrication so that they can run more seamlessly. If you're able to open up your clock or the idea of glass or foam insulation isn't feasible, then working on the clock could be a fruitful solution. With this, you won't need to worry too much if it falls since it won't break or destroy anything else. You can buy inexpensive sheets of foam and shape it into a case that can be placed over the clock. This option obviously removes your ability to read the time, so if you don't mind trading that for some quiet while you study or work, then this may be ideal to try. With that in mind, installing a case over the clock should be done with care.Īnother way to insulate the clock is with acoustic dampening foam, like the kind that they use in recording studios. A bonus of laminated versus tempered glass is that, should the case fall or slip, it will shatter in one piece rather than send pieces of broken glass over the floor. Laminated glass works best in this situation as it can dampen the noise more than tempered glass. Placing a glass case over the clock can help dull the ticking sound and still allow you to read the time visually. You can insulate the clock with glass since it's a fairly effective acoustic barrier. This likely won't work well for pendulum clocks and might be okay for clocks that you don't need to see while you're muffling the sound. Insulating the Clockĭepending on the type of clock you have, insulating it may be a great option. Some solutions may work better than others, so try a few to figure out what works best for your particular clock. There are a few ways that you can try to control the sound of your clock so that it is softer and less noisy.
