Yes — the metronome uses the Web Audio API. Make sure your sound is on.

What does timing deviation mean?

Each tap is compared to the nearest expected beat; smaller deviation means tighter timing.

Is rhythm related to musicality?

Beat-tapping precision is studied as a component of musical timing and sensorimotor synchronization.

What this measures

Rhythm measures your average timing deviation when tapping along to a metronome. It's a direct benchmark of sensorimotor timing.

How it works

A metronome plays at 100 BPM. After a four-beat count-in, tap along with every beat as precisely as you can for 16 beats.

How results are calculated

Your primary score is the average absolute deviation between your taps and the nearest beat in milliseconds (lower is better), estimated against population norms.

Accuracy & limitations

Audio latency and input device affect timing. This is a research-grounded benchmark (Evidence B).
