Usually you just use a click track in the studio - and only in the drummer
and/or bass players headphones.  That way, there isn't any bleed into the
main mix of metronome.

Live, sometimes click tracks are fed to the same musicians via in-ear
monitoring to keep stage volume down (neither has to "be heard over" the
other), and also to keep the drummer and bass player "in the pocket."  I,
for one, when playing bass, never use a click track, they drive me nuts.   I
would rather lock into whatever the drummer is playing.
