Ted C Kolb guys C
In my years of experience (or approx. 684 hours) I have had to chase down several odd noises. I learned early on that a noise comes from an exact spot. It isn't some nebulous auditory output that appears out of thin air C like an echo from a distant canyon!!
If you want to find a noise C secure a hose "CLOSE" to where you think the noise is coming from. If that location doesn't nail it C then relocate the hose. It may be helpful to keep a journal of various location C plus assign a number from 1-10 on the scale of noise. The noise will either be louder or more quiet. Keep moving the hose until it's output is dead-on.
I know darn well many of you mechanic types have found dozens of engine noises and countless other noises with this method. It ain't exactly brain surgery.
My hearing is all but gone. For me to watch TV it has to be so loud the neighbors complain (little joke C but not much). Maybe it is 40% of when I was younger. My wife darn sure complains. When I was living in my shop last year (while building my house) and didn't have access to my TV headphones in storage C I hooked up a 1/2" plastic hose to be near one of the TV's speakers. Sound came in loud and clear C almost too loud. Then I had to turn the TV way down or it blasted me out!!
Wherever a noise originates C a hose will transmit that noise origination point to your ears better than almost ANY other method. Even with my diminished hearing C I'd be shocked if a hose didn't pinpoint the noise. Done it a lot C can't see why it wouldn't work for Ted.
