Best Answer

It is a short O sound. A long O would sound like the word cloak. Clock rhymes with dock, mock, and rock.

In US English, the O in "clock" or "pond" is pronounced the same as the short A in "ma" (ah). This is different from the A in the US pronunciation of "father" (ä or aw) or the short A in past or grand ( or ayh).
