There are chargers that make noise - even when the fence is perfect.  Typically,
it isn't a problem unless you are pretty close to them.  I have had luck making
them quiet enough to live with by putting a LC filter on their output.  

I bought the same unit a neighbor had - made the mods (testing it on my own
fence) and then swapping with him.  

I forget the exact values - I wound the chokes myself on a wooden dowel in a
cordless drill.
