| + | ===== Stethoscope ===== | ||
| + | A stethoscope can be used to find mechanical noises and air leaks. \\ | ||
| + | It is a more sensitive device than a stick or screwdriver. \\ | ||
| + | For that reason, some remove the probe on the end and simply use the hose end for probing. \\ | ||
| + | Then it's less strain on the ears. \\ | ||

| + | ===== Rubber Hose ===== | ||
| + | This can be a spare piece of oil line or even a cut off piece of garden hose. \\ | ||
| + | Hold one end up to your ear and the other end against the testing site. \\ | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Screwdriver ===== | ||
| + | You can use a screwdriver as a listening device. \\ | ||
| + | Grab a big (biggest you have) screwdriver from your toolbox.

| + | Put the metal end on the area you wish to listen to and your ear on the top of the handle. \\ | ||
| + | Noise is transferred through the screwdriver to your ear. \\ | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Wooden Dowel / Stick ===== | ||
| + | A wood stick transfers noises well. \\ | ||
| + | You can hear soft and loud noises as well as feel light ticking to hard knocking sounds. \\ | ||
| + | A wooden handle screwdriver, hammer or a length of 2x4 will also work. \\ | ||
| + | Place one end on the area you're listening to and the other to your ear. \\ | ||
| + | Sound is transferred through the wood. \\ | ||
