How to select a metronome?

[frankiefrank]

Any suggestion?

I don't like beeping metronomes, because they irritate me with their specific pitch. So I prefer the ones who go "tick tack" and among them I prefer the mechanical ones, which you need to wind up, (but I don't mind doing this)

If it goes cuckoo it's in all probability not a metronome, but a cuckoo clock.

I still use my old Franz electric (not electronic) metronome with the click and blinking light pulse on the top  .  As to a new one, you could go onto Amazon which will display an army of them, and just start looking through their features to see what might most appeal to you.

Loud.  Of course if they have an audio-out, you can hook them up to something else to amp up the sound too.
