Solution

We know that speed, pitch, loudness all are initiated with a vibration. During the day, there are number of vibrations around us. So, the sound coming from the clock gets disturbed and the amplitude of vibrations becomes small.
But during the night, there are not such multiple vibrations in the environment. So, the sound is more clear.
