Congrats on picking up and learning the guitar @Trav ! First, know that you are awesome!
Next, there are alternatives to the metronome, like playing to backing tracks or to actual songs. I have a tough time with the metronome. If I’ve used it a dozen times, its a lot. But I like backing tracks. It’s not for everyone, and just a suggestion of an alternative option.
Also, you can usually adjust the sound type and the volume on the digital metronomes, so maybe playing around with that will help. A drum beat? A cymbal? Might be better than tick tick tick.
