About 170 BPM

At 170 BPM there’s a click every 0.35 seconds (353 milliseconds). With 8th notes on, that’s 340 clicks a minute; with 16ths, 680.

On the metronome’s scale, 170 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.
