How it's made

Source
a fence energiser's capacitor discharge produces a dry 2–7 ms broadband snap each cycle. Band-limited noise models the brief discharge; its cutoff falls from 4–9 kHz toward 1.8 kHz.
Body
transformer and enclosure vibration add damped modes near 380, 1050 and 2370 Hz, with 22–65 ms decay to -60 dB. A filtered contact burst gives the housing a small mechanical clack.
Envelope
rounded 0.15–0.4 ms attacks prevent digital discontinuities; upper modes die first. A quiet secondary contact 3 ms later belongs to the same pulse. No hum or reverberation persists.
Rhythm
exactly 3, 4 or 5 pulses per 4 s; an 80 ms offset keeps the seam in the silent gap.
Variation
independent seeded noise and ±1.5% modal tuning, with only ±3% level variation; timing remains regular. Brightness controls discharge bandwidth; housing controls case vibration.
Presets
standard outdoor tick, bright wire snap, muffled boxed unit, and slower heavy energiser.
