How to ensure accurate timing precision with setInterval in JavaScript for audio tools?

Q&A

I am working on a web-based audio tool and noticing that standard setInterval in JavaScript drifts over time due to main thread blocking.

For audio metronomes or timing-sensitive applications, what is the best recommended approach to maintain high-precision timing in the browser?

Should I look into Web Audio API (AudioContext.currentTime) combined with Web Workers, or are there other best practices?
