I, too, used the screwdriver, hose, etc. to look for strange noises in my
collection of noise-prone vehicles.  A few weeks ago I broke down and
bought a mechanic's stethascope from Sears.  This thing is GREAT!  I was
amazed at how much it amplified and isolated the various noises that make
up the concerto coming from my cars.  It was like $14 and worth every
penny.
