No problem, stick a tiny CPU + audio amp in the corner of the box that generates an anti-phase noise canceling signal, That said, I never start the Patek-Philippe clock in my HP 5065A rubidium since it ticks loud enough to be heard on the next planet. ---------------- > If I do ever see one at the hamfest after reading this thread I am pretty sure I will stay clear of it.

Wow Mark thats not what I would have expected from the Patek. But then I never had one. Remember "You never own a Patek it just goes from generation to generation". At least thats what the ad says. So imagine someone in your family will be wearing the 5065 on there wrist one day. Regards Paul.

I think the click was probably made loud intentionally. It would make it easier to set the clock accurately to within a fraction of a second. It would also make it quite evident if two clocks were out of sync. -Chuck Harris paul swed wrote: > Wow Mark thats not what I would have expected from the Patek. But then I > never had one.
