Abstract: In a previous paper Kobayashi and Rieck defined the growth rate of the tunnel number of a knot $K$, a knot invariant that measures the asymptotic behavior of the tunnel number under iterated connected sum of $K$. We denote the growth rate by $mbox{gr}_t(K)$. In this paper we construct, for any $epsilon>0$, a hyperbolic knots $Ksubset{S}^3$ for which $1-epsilon<mbox{gr}_t(K)<1$. This is the first proof that the spectrum of the growth rate of the tunnel number is infinite.
