Your criteria rules out anything vintage, as wind up mechanical clock movements tick several times per second. Your best bet is a cheap battery powered quartz clock - they tick once per second. Beyond that, I can't offer much.

Do you have recommendations for any mechanical clocks? If it gives ticking sounds, it could work. I'm open to any suggestions!
No, sorry. I have used digitals for many years now.
Actually, if you are on Android this app could work. I used to use it. The analogue clocks tick per second, and you could tyrn your phone up loud.

Chess dot com does have a chess clock app, might not be exactly what you were looking for but it does tick every second and one tick only. Plus, your phone has a volume buttons right? There, if you want, set your device’s volume to max since you wanted louder the better.
Also it has some nice settings as well and almost all of the buttons excluding the time setting menu has a nice little sound so enjoy ig.
Here’s the link to the app (Apple Devices only: https://apps.apple.com/app/id858039162

I checked this out, it doesn't actually tick down the seconds. It only makes a sound whenever the player "hits" the clock. Thanks for the suggestions, though!
Hey everyone!
A bit of a weird question, I know, but I'm not sure where else to ask. I'm looking for a chess clock that ticks, the louder the better. It would be preferable if said clock only ticked once a second, as in it only makes a noise every second, unlike some clocks where multiple ticks are heard per second. Sound examples would be great, though that might not be a thing haha. If anyone has any recommendations, please let me know. Thank you all!
