Hi Pierre!
Since it appears no one has responded to your question, I thought I should since its quite common. Repetition of counting out loud is a way so that you can formulate some kind of rhythm subconsciously. By engaging "active thought" (counting out loud), both your conscious and subconscious facilities are "learning how to rhythm". As with any muscle (especially the biggest - BRAIN), repetition and effective practice will eventually lead to stronger sense of rhythm. Sooner or later, you will "feel" the rhythm without having to count out loud. Until then, count out loud.
Another tip: Go to sleep while listening to a metronome; set it to whatever beats per minute is "confortable" even "transe-like". As you progress, change the "BPM" (beats per minute) to faster tempos. As you fall asleep, you will eventually stop hearing the click, but your subconscious wont. If you have a loud clock, put that near you. You'll will at least train your brain to understand 60 BPM. Good luck!
