Hello, I was interested in getting a chess clock for like 20-30min blitz

gaming, only to find many kinds (TOURNAMENT clocks, BLITZ clocks, etc.)

How does one use a TOURNAMENT clock?  what's the pro/con?  Is it like
you get points for taking less time playing?

Please help me understand. Also, all these German wind-up clocks... are
they loud? (the tic-toc-ing).

Thank you!
