The difference between Interval time and Stepped timer

The difference lies in the settings of these timers. The Interval timer has the sound at the end of the timer and each interval has its own sound at the time of start, while the Stepped timer does not require the sound at the end of the timer - each interval has its own alert sound at completion. Also, the Stepped interval timer has a pause between intervals (steps).
