Why does Smokey stops in front of the sonic fence? Remember Juliet and Kate in S4 running from it and then Juliet turn on the sonic fence?

One theory was that Smokey has dog like charicteristics, if so, it'd be sensitive to sounds.

Isn't Ben's house INSIDE the sonic fence? So is the fence to keep smokey OUT or IN??

a lot of people seem to think that since the summoning device was inside Ben;'s house, smokie would be able to come through that small toilet-like hole....

That was just a way to call him up. He comes through the jungle from outside the sonic fence.

Why not come through the small whole in ben's basement then?

Well, I think that all those mechanical sounds that we hear come from an underground device that he is somehow attached to and keep him at bay. Think about it as a leash...

Well, Apep was restrained by "fetters": http://books.google.com/books?id=goxAKW-mGp8C&pg=PA261&lpg=PA261&dq=Apep+restraint&source=bl&ots=s1uDrdAwnR&sig=ut0SYCKzEaoSyq7ZQRrGD6ac7MA&hl=en&ei=3GrfSYmuPJvmnQekyISkCQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=3

^Fierro, going along with your theory, maybe it's not the actual fence that keeps Smokey out, maybe someone figured out that that area is where Smokey can't go any further, because of it's "leash", and they built a fence there to remind people that venturing any further than that would put you at risk?

I'm starting to think that the 'Cerberus Vents' are mechanical DHARMA made devices to keep smokey at bay, the monster himself seems to be rather organic.

Well, the question I have is: Why can Alpert and others of his ilk pass through the Sonic Fence (according to him anyway) while other humans and Cerberus cannot? What is Alpert exactly? Like another poster said, I also think it's possible that the positioning of the fence itself rather than the high frequency sound waves is what keeps Cerberus at bay. Perhaps that function of the fence was designed more with the Hostiles in mind rather than Cerberus?

OMG!!!!

I have been proposing the leash idea for years and now I found out that my main candidate for Smokie was also restrained by a leash.....WOW!!!!
