Ari is currently in the shag shack. There are no intact bucks within fence distance of him on any side, so there is no particular draw to beat on a section of fence. Also, having learned my lesson last year, the new-last-year electric-right-of-way gate at the bottom of the hill is blocked off by the gate Ari broke and a piece of fence. The fence is bent away from the gate so even if Ari hits that piece of fence, the fence won't hit the old gate easily or with enough force to hit the new gate. And that bent fence will only kind of go whub-twangthunk. It's not a very loud noise, and not a very satisfying impact, either.
With the big gate out of reach, the next target of Ari's desire for noise is the person-sized gate facing the house. That gate has a metal chain on it that rattles. The gate itself is the regular hollow-pipe. So Ari spends hours upon hours of the day rubbing his head against the chain against the gate. It's almost some weird musical instrument. And yes, to his satisfaction, it is LOUD.
