The sound of instruments produced by human action is considered music if it is rhythmic and melodious. Melodious sounds created with the intention of pleasure and entertainment fall under the ruling of musical instruments, whether produced by an instrument or otherwise, such as whistling and clapping. Therefore, if tapping is rhythmic and melodious, it is considered musical melody.
