Alan,
I have had that happen here when the battery on my battery powered wall clock
gets low.  A new battery cured my problem.  Hope it will work for you.
A few years ago I had the similar problem and upon inspection of my neighbors
electric fence, I found a broken wire that was arcing....I used some insulated
gloves and pliers and "patched" the problem....all was quiet again.
Good Luck
