When my Parmak fence charge is operating, I hear a clicking sound. Is this normal?

Parker McCrory Mfg Co
YES. All Parmak fence chargers are "solid-state" with no moving parts inside the fence charger. The clicking noise heard when the fence charger is operating is caused by the magnetic field surrounding the output transformer being released each time the fence charger pulses. NOTE: Fence load will effect the volume (loudness) of the clicking sound. As an example, the clicking sound will be the loudest when the fence charger is operated in an open circuit (not connected to the fence).

When I play a MOZART tune, I hear nothing. What's wrong?

mozart FAQ (frequently asked questions)
Important background: mozart uses MIDI synthesis for playback. This is quite different from audio playback of CDs and various kinds of sound file. MIDI comprises a set of instructions to a synthesiser which creates the sound. There is no "recording" as such. Computers can be properly configured for audio but not for MIDI. MIDI is not used by your computer in the normal run of events, and so it is quite possible that you wouldn't know if this were the case.
