    Very careful use of the old standby stethoscope, or in other terms, a large tang through screwdriver held against one ear will tell you where the noise is coming from.
    Place the blade end against external casings of all ancilliary bits, put your ear against the handle end, any sounds will travel up the blade very well.
    Again, do this VERY carefully near moving, rotating, or in general human unfriendly bits.

    A length of rubber hose (garden hose or the like) held near your ear will also work.This will be more forgiving around your plug leads and rotating parts if you happen to come in contact
