Metronome Sound Effect

📝 Description

The metronome is discipline ticking in public — a dry, perfectly spaced click that has kept musicians honest and driven them quietly mad for two centuries. Its neutrality is the material: the metronome does not care about your excuses, your tempo preferences, or your feelings. Use it for practice montages, habit-and-routine content, and edits about consistency, or as a tension bed where each click tightens the scene. Sped up, it becomes a racing pulse. As a prank, hide one in a room and never acknowledge it. Precision has a sound, and it is merciless.
