[SECC] Clicks in the loop

[K4SAV]

It doesn't sound like an electric fence to me. Most electric fences 
produce a pop at about a 1 second interval. If you are very close to 
one, you may also be able to hear the charging mechanism.  It will sound 
like a series of chirpy dashes occurring at 1 second intervals, followed 
by the pop at the end of the dash. The chirpy dashes will be spaced at 
about every 10 kHz, but the pop will be spread across the whole band.

I couldn't figure out Rogers description.  He said a "clicking at 40 to 
50 Hz".  Something occurring at 40 to 50 Hz would be a buzz not a click.
