Hey List,

When my dad was working on a car to find a squeek or strange noise he would
take a _long_ screw driver and put the handle to his ear and blade to
different parts of the engine. This has worked for me too when trying to
find the source of buzz on a soudboard. (If the handle is large enough
there is no danger of damaging the ear).
