	Clicking Metronome in Duple Meter Use this metronome for time signatures of 2/4, 2/2 (cut time), 2/8, and 6/8 (when played at faster tempos with the dotted quarter note equal to one beat).
	Clicking Metronome in Triple Meter Use this metronome for time signatures of 3/4, 3/2, 3/8 (with the eighth note equal one beat), and 9/8 (with the dotted quarter note equal to one beat).
	Clicking Metronome in Quadruple Meter Use this metronome for time signatures of 4/4, 4/8, 4/2, and 12/8 (with the dotted quarter note equal to one beat).

These metronomes are similar to the talking metronomes but they use click sounds instead of spoken words. They produce a high click sound on beat one of each measure and a low click sound on the other beats of the measure.
