I have one of those Bullseye solar ones that are good for 2 miles of fence. It's called the weed burner. Has it's own battery supply. DO NOT touch this one on a dare! Don't ask me how I know...Gustard X26 Pro DAC

We have two, a little one for the back garden (which is small) and a bigger one for the main garden (which is also small, but less so
).
The little one has a capacity, if memory serves, of 0.1 J and runs on D cells. It generates a good potential based on the field tester, but I haven't tested it the hard way - yet.
The other one is a bigger one that runs off of a 12V SLA battery, charged by a small PV panel. That one has a capacity of 0.5 J -- not cattle-rancher levels of power, but adequate.

(ours is the previous generation of this model)
of course, these gizmos (fence chargers) deliver their wallop in pulses, a few seconds apart -- they wouln't much help the OP's problem unless the scalawag grabbed hold of something metal and held on for long enough to get zapped.

You just need one of these signs

Are you near a freight train by chance? I would guess no but...mhardy6647 wrote: »So -- I feel a need to mention this, fully acknowledging that it may be completely irrelevant.
Over time, for reasons completely unknown to me, one or both of the bulbs in the fixtures flanking our (unused) front door will work loose enough not to light when switched on. I don't know if it from vibration (although, again, the door itself probably gets opened 2 or 3 times per year) or environmental heating/cooling or evil spirits or... whatever. I just know that roughly annually I have to tighten up one or both bulbs.
None of the other exterior bulbs (either the 'fancy' fixtures by the doors or the floods up high on the sides and corners of the house) do it -- just the ones by the front door.

Not near in the vibrational sense, no -- but we can hear them sometimes from the yards in nearby White River Jct, VT, when the wind's blowing the right way.
We do get some vibration when the Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center helicopter (lovingly known as The Death Moth to the DHMC docs) flies overhead. I think when they sent out the RFP for The Death Moth, they spec'd "the noisiest chopper ya got".

Can you hear the Vermont Transit busses idling at the bus station in White River Junction, like when Edward Wanderley (Douglas Farirbanks Jr.) picks up his son Don (Craig Wasson) in the film "Ghost Story" (1981)?

I've caught the bus to Logan from WRJ -- a long, long time ago.
Rode the train to and from B-more, too -- also a long, long time ago.
