While the "tick tick tick" at ~1hz is classic electric fence it is
also frequently heard from a variety of battery chargers used in
consumer items, tools, toys and what not.
Generally an electric fence will be outside and visable (except the
buried dog containment fences that work with a shock collar).
Remember also that some electric blankets will also make this kind of noise.
