    Depends on the dimensions of the device, density and spring coefficient of the pendulums, and density and composition of the medium (air, water, vacuum, etc.) the pendulums are swinging in. Under ideal conditions, it’s going to lose energy slightly faster than a typical pendulum, because it’s losing impact energy making the sound.
