Subject: rubber tubes in the ear (follow up)
Hello,
Just a follow up on the rubber tube in the ear.
see, i was sharing a cheap, easy solution to tracing down sounds.
Some of you might have a longer term need though, and a willingness to
spend a few more dollars.
What we actually did at work was to modify a stethoscope.
that works much better for comfort and applies the sound to both ears.
after the two ear pieces come together, and there is a rubber tube a short
distance, just take off the end and add a short metal tube.
metal because it is easier to point.
Since all you need is the tubing effect, cheap, even toy stethoscopes go a
long way for convenience and comfort.
reminder:
just put a noise source in the space to be tested, go outside and listen
through the tube. it's highly directional and will make finding sound
leaks easy :-)
Oh, and for those who like humor, the 'foil hat' is optional ;-)
