Ok, good thing for you that your TTOne works fine. 
I went to a store today and checked out a TomTom One New edition in the store, clicked just like mine. (So now I've tried 4 different units..)
Tried out the 910 as well and there was no click when it played back samples or when the synthetic voice was used.

I've listened to your examples and I can certainly hear what you mean. I got my TomTom ONE New Edition a couple of weeks ago (it's a v4) and I can definitely say it doesn't click like that. Sound playback is absolutely fine.
Maybe it's a problem with the v2 units that has been corrected in the v4 units? It's seems more than a coincidence that you've tried four units that are all suffering from the same problem - unless they were all from the same shop, in which case it could be a bad batch, as someone has already mentioned. |

Ah.. i'm a bit confused here. At first I thought "New edition" and "v2" was the same. (Newbie mistake sorry..) My TomTom One "New Edition" is in fact a "ONEv4". (Thats what comes up in TomTom Home anyways..)
So the "new edition" is the slimmer look and the v1 to v4 is hardware revisions right?
The four units I've tried aren't all from the same store. The current unit I've got at home is the unit that TomTom Services sent me.
Perhaps the clicking sound is quite common among the ONEv4 units. But I guess not that many notice it. And among those who do hear it only a few are bothered.

I've found a nice and confusing little detail about my problem. After turning the ONEv4 the first time a sample gets played back there's no click.. 8O
(My wife says I'm being obsessive about this.. and I guess she's right..)

Now I'm trying to get hold of TomTom's second level support (if there's such a thing) or a technician. Have anyone ever managed to reach beyond first level support?
The regular service people at TomTom are quite nice and very helpfull but when it comes to problems like mine they can't seem to do much. I've tried to describe my question in detail on the tomtom service site and I've talked to quite a few of them on the phone, but it doesn't seem I'm getting any closer to a solution.
And by the way thanks to all of you who replyed and tried to help me on this. Really appreciate it. Now I know there's TomTom One New edtion v4 out there that doesn't click..
Sincerely
LarsErik |

I've sent the sound examples to TomTom a while back. They took quite a while to respond this time and now they want me to send my One to them again.
So I'm shipping it today, hopefully they take a closer look at this problem this time.

I just got my TomTom One back from TomTom Services and they replaced the internal speaker. However they obviously didn't care to check if doing so made the clicking sound dissapear.
With the new speaker my TomTom One clicks just like before.
This time around they requested me to send my SD card to them as well so I was quite hopefull they would really look into my problem.. But I guess I was wrong.

I complained to TomTom again and this time they told me to send everything (including the charger) to a specific person at TomTom Services.
This is the third time I've sent my One to TomTom Services. I'm hoping third time's the charm.

Latest update:
It's official now. The clicking crappy playback is not a production problem with the TomTom One (new edition), it's the way it should be.
TomTom Services has just finished with whatever they have been doing to my TT One for 4 weeks and are now sending it back to me.
I think it stinks that the sample playback is so poor on these units but at least I know now this isn't a fault.
Sincerely
