We recently replaced an alarm clock because it would throughout the
day make this noise (dah duh -- dah duh -- -- dah duh duh duh) all the
time.

We replaced it with another radio alarm clock from a different
manufacture., but this one does the exact same thing. This one has
the time preset you just set the time zone., the lithium battery keeps
the clock going.

Anyway, every hour at 45 minutes after the hour, this sound happens.
Two alarm clocks from different manufactures both doing the same
thing.

Could this be electrical noise? My UPS plugged into the other wall
doesn't kick in at these times. And it's every 45 minutes after the
hour. It's not real loud, but it is noticable. Doesn't sound
anything like the actual alarm, and the radio is NOT on.

Ideas?

Thanks!
