I'm assuming you are complaining about RFI and not
acoustics. I'm not familiar with any particular brand
that is RF quiet. The old battery-operated fencers
are acoustically noisy.....like bonk - bonk - bonk every
second or so...can drive you nuts on a quiet day!
The guys have said recently that an "RF choke" at the
fencer output makes a lot of difference. That will take
the "edge" off the waveform to greatly reduce its interferrence.
Google is your friend.
Also, it's very important that the fencer has a
good grounding sysyem. It it doesn't, the return path
via the earth can be way too long, making the fencer less effective
and increasing the length of its "antenna".
