I did that test one year ago. So, I'm not sure whether I remember all
the details correctly.

Yes, I think so.

I don't know. I just tried various multiplication factors until I got
a uniform intensity. Note that this procedure is note very accurate
because the short clock pulses are quite variable (actually it would
be better to use a constant sine signal as a reference tone).

Yes, all were recorded at 44.1 kHz and 16 bit.

As far as I remember, I did this particular test in 16 bit. So, you
might argue that there occured some rounding effects that increased
the noise. However, I also did other test before at 24 bit resolution
that subjectivly provided similiar results.

My clock is obviously a bit quieter than yours. The distance between
the mic and the clock was about 0.5 m.
