Hi Folks!

Anyone have suggestions on how to locate the source for a soft and brief
sound I'm hearing up here?  Thinking microphone and Rapsberry Pi for the
hardware: move the mic closer or further to figure out the source.  
("Trick" is the streaming music and ambient noises.)

The noise sometimes sounds like maybe a gas bubble eascaping -- in fact
when it started I thought it was from the battery of a UPS I had
installed temporarily.  (Got the replacement UPS, them temp UPS is
stored on the opposite side of the room from where the noise is coming
from.)

At other times the noise sounds like maybe fan ball bearings: a high-
pitched "clink-clink" -- maybe three clicks.

Of course when I listen for the sound it doesn't occur.  No real
pattern.  There are enough fans, capacitors, batteries where the source
might be so as to shut down and listen would take forever (plus be a 
major disruption).

TIA!
