[time-nuts] Noisy clocks [Was: Atomic Clocks]

[paul swed]

Do a search on time-nuts. I would swear some 3 years ago this was discussed
and they are annoying loud. It wouldn't have mattered im many environments
as there were other peices of equipment that had fans and such. But at home
we tend to hear lots of things.
Good luck.
