    I just had an idea...

    How about listening though a long tube such as a wrapping paper tube? That
    should narrow down the noise source. Think I'll try that tonight.

    Paul, that's not unlike the methods I use for aligning multiple
    carburettors on an engine. I just use a rubber tube (chunk of fuel line
    works great) and listen to the wind whistle in the carb. intakes.

    A nice addition to the getup is a piece of copper or whathaveyou tubing
    that can be used as a rigid end - makes it easier to get into tight places.
