Put the numbers into practice.
For a new passage in 4/4, try 60 BPM and four clicks per bar. Play one quarter note with each click. After three clean repetitions, stop and raise the tempo by 5 BPM.

How to use it
- 01
Set a comfortable tempo between 20 and 300 BPM. BPM here counts the click pulse.
- 02
Choose 1–12 clicks per bar. The first click is higher pitched so you can hear the start of each bar.
- 03
Lower the volume, press Start, and play. Stop before changing the tempo or beat count.
Behind the numbers
Seconds between clicks = 60 ÷ BPM. At 120 BPM, the interval is 0.5 seconds. The audio clock schedules clicks slightly ahead of playback, while the visual beat indicator follows each scheduled click.
For compound meters, choose what the click represents. Six clicks per bar can count eighth notes in 6/8; two clicks can count dotted-quarter beats. This metronome does not infer that choice from notation.
Questions, answered.
Why is there no sound until I press Start?
Browsers require a user action before audio starts. Press Start and check the volume on both this tool and your device. A silent-mode setting or disconnected audio device can also affect playback.
Does it keep playing in another tab?
No. The metronome stops when this page becomes hidden, when you select another tool, or when you leave the page. Return and press Start to resume a fresh bar.
Is the click perfectly sample accurate?
Clicks use the Web Audio clock rather than relying on a visual interval. Heavy system load, device latency or browser throttling can still affect playback; this is a practice aid, not a measurement instrument.
