When you turn the swing on it takes a while before it starts swinging. During that time is makes a clicking noise. The more weight in it the worse it is.

find a clock maker or watch repairer in your area
admitted they will be far between but they do exist
maybe on the net
however if you just want a pendulum to make it work and weight on an arm will do
the arm will need to be fully threaded so that the length from the pivot point to the weight can be adjusted as this dimension is what adjusts the timing of the swing to maintain time accuracy
something like a 1/2 ounce lead sinker on a threaded bar say 1/8 dia will do for a start point.
The longer the swing the slower the time and conversely the shorter the swing the faster the time.
If you take the glovebox out, you can see the air inlet servomotor on the left side of the blower housing. (SEE DIAGRAM)
This is very likely to be what you are hearing. This is a quite common problem. This servo is electronicall controlled. When the HVAC is turned on, the servo is supposed to go through a "full swing" to test itself. Many times, things (papers, napkins, drinking straws, etc.) from an overflowing glove box get jammed in the recirc-air flap right behind the glove box. when this happens, the servo cannot make a full swing and sometimes it damages the servo, which continues to attempt the full swing and keeps clicking because it is stripping its internal gears trying to make it happen. You will most likely have to remove whatever it is that is jamming the door and replace the servo.
Make sure the legs are pulled out all of the way by pulling the legs outward. Make sure the buttons snap into the notches in the motorized frame.
Also check to be sure the legs are locked into position by pushing the legs inward. The legs should not move. Also if you can adjust the swing from side to side make sure it is locked in place. That should fix it.
Most grandfather/grandmother clocks have an adjustable screw on the weight to slightly extend it or shorten it to satisfy the equation of pendulum swing. the shorter the swing (arc distance) the faster the clock, the longer the swing the longer the time. Check to see if you can adjust the weight up or down on the hanger.
Could it be more like a clicking or grinding noise? That would be the swing plate assembly gears. Those gears connect the drive system to the fuser, driving the fuser gears. There is no workaround, it is a replace only. I would suggest contacting a service provider. The swing plate assembly has either a quick 15 minute fix or a tiresome and complicated up to 2 hour fix, especially if the screws get stripped out.
What happens is the fuser gears and the swing plate assembly gears bounce slightly, creating wear on the fuser drive gear and the swing plate gears. Over time they wear down enough that they start making noise and will eventually start causing jams in the fuser. If you notice a bunch of white dust that has an oily texture when you rub with your figures on the drive side of the fuser, that is the gear dust.
