About 160 BPM

At 160 BPM there’s a click every 0.38 seconds (375 milliseconds). With 8th notes on, that’s 320 clicks a minute; with 16ths, 640.

On the metronome’s scale, 160 falls in the Vivace range (156 to 175): lively and fast.

At very fast tempos it can help to set the metronome to half speed and hear each click as every second beat. Fewer clicks are easier to lock into.
