Most of the Australian versions averted this, but the bonus round in Million Dollar Wheel of Fortune in 2008 not only had a tick-tock beat to the music, but it was also underscored by a robotic voice counting down the contestant's 10 seconds.Wheel of Fortune has two: one for the Speed-Up round (Final Spin) and another for the Bonus Round.Barney & Friends: "The Clean Up Clock".The tune is uncredited, and may be a piece of library music that the producers found.The theme tune from Callan is suspenseful and includes the suggestion of a slowly ticking clock, reinforced by the image in the opening credits of a swinging lightbulb as a substitute pendulum.Heroes has Sylar's Leitmotif, which is not so much a "time is running out" as a creepy "this guy knows how things tick" thing.One of the theme tunes from Beat the Clock, natch.John Williams' theme tune from The Time Tunnel.

He reportedly incorporated recordings of a pocket watch owned by director Christopher Nolan into the score. His score for Dunkirk also features the ticking of a clock.The time between each tick gets shorter and longer in parts of the song, symbolising the time dilation effect the characters go through due to them being very near a black hole. The soundtrack for Interstellar features clock ticking in some of the scores, most notably the track "Mountains" and its variations.Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows prominently features ticking in several scores, notably when someone is about to die, or when they're trying to stop his plans, with all the subtext that implies.Not surprisingly, the perception of time is an important subtheme of the film. His score for Inception prominently features the ticking of a clock on several of its tracks.Hans Zimmer is apparently fond of this trope.I was just hoping to poll opinions as to what that sound is. It may be obvious once I can actually see the movement in action. I haven't pulled anything out to examine yet. This is the first grandfather clock I will have looked at and, if it's anything like the wall clock they had me look at, is going to be from the ~1900 to early 1900 time frame.

With your sound up, you can still hear the beat in question, though: I had my mom make a video of it on her phone and send it to me to share, so I apologize for the poor video quality. I hear more of a tic-tick, tock, tic-tick, tock type of sound. However, unrelated to the chime issue is the tick-tock of the beat seems odd to me. They been having strike issues (doesn't strike the correct hour after a certain period they can't remember from when to when at the moment) with it recently and I think I've finally gotten enough experience at this point to try and take a look at it. My parents have a grandfather clock passed down to them from my mom's parents.
