What does the metronome sound like? Is it like wood on wood, or an electronic bleep or something else?

The metronome doesn't sound like wood on wood. It is an electronic bleep, but in my opinion it's not unpleasant. I've heard metronomes that sound quite obnoxious. This isn't one of them.

It is an electronic beep in the upper frequencies, but not at all painful. There is a volume control on the top of the device (not shown in the picture). The metronome is also capable of a different beep to denote beat 1 of a given meter. Hope this helps!

Bleep, tock, tock, tock, bleep tock tock tockThat's for 4/4 time. The bleep is a higher pitch. You can set how many counts per measure, and the bleep is the first count. You can set it to not bleep at all, too.

Electronic beep on the note C, sounding somewhat like a garbage truck in reverse. A distracting sound if you're trying to listen to your tone or intonation.

Wooden speakers would sound like crap... The cabinets are high grade MDF, finished with a high grade applied "wood grain" in black. I build cabinets and am very pleased!

No it sounds like like those old noise maker toys that you used to press the different buttons to get different sounds. Def does not sound like a real siren. I should know I use one 5 days a week!

It sounds alot like a keyboard click of a button. You feel it more than you hear it in my mind.

It sounds like a small desktop. So its relative to the surrounding environment. If you have only have a fan-less laptop you will notice when its running.

I'd worry about hearing damage, I'm always turning the metronome down myself for this reason. The "tick" is pretty sharp sounding. I'd recommend a clock with a soft ticking sound.I have the Seiko metronome which has a volume wheel on the side, not all of them do.

It's most likely the VR you're hearing. It sounds like an electrical circuit.

It is like a electronic beep, not short beeps but not too long, and it is not loud.

There's some sound leak but it all depends how loud you listen to the music. Hope this helps

There are different musical sounds when you open the house or push the bottom stair. There are other sounds too including the toilet flushing when you push the nearby button, phone ringing when you push it, and the kitchen makes a sizzling sound like cooking when you tap the stove! I think there are a couple more sounds too.

I'm pretty sure it is stereo. I used it this morning, and it sure sounded like it was.

The apparatus has a continuous gentle sound in various offerings...rain, ocean, summer night, etc. for the duration of the timed setting. At the end, there is no beep or bell. The sound just ends. I purchased this for the same reason and I've found that I like this better than the traditional bell but you may not feel that way. It can be set in durations of 15, 30 or 60 minutes only so if you don't want to be boxed into those time frames you may want to look for another device. Hope this helps!

The sounds are like varying tones of rushing water. I don't necessarily think it has a "humming" sound. For me, the sounds are good for sleeping.

It looks like some sort of animal hide, it can fade from dense to clear in some spots. But it's well put together and makes a very intense sound. I'm actually thinking of wrapping a bit of cloth around the stick head (wooden) to muffle the sound. I realize some people may veer away from animal products, but the authenticity of the product, I think, is what helps me connect with it better. If it was mere synthetic I don't think I'd revere it very much.

It is a type of wood called nato, which is similar to mahogany. It is very, very thin. The finish is not shiny making it look more inexpensive and it is very light. (The weight was listed in the item description, but I guess I didn't realize how light it would really feel.) Makes it look and feel like a kids toy. I really wish the appearance looked more like real wood. It does have a good sound though and the price was right for just learning. It appears to be very nicely made, also.

A mechanical timer rings once the countdown is complete. A metronome would be a better option for repetitive signals with such a small duration.

I am only guessing here but I believe it's mono, I watched a movie with it last night and it never sounded like something was taking place on one side of the room, now for $$, I think it's worth it.. The little thing puts out decent sound...
