When I ran the difficult noise problems for a few utility companies, that 
indeed was a standard method for finding loose hardware. The only really 
dangerous thing was shaking a pole by pulling on a guy line. :-)

This does not mean a non-employee should do it. I have seen a whack start a 
fire though, when a loose hot clamp dropped molten metal. That also hurts 
the top of your head, or your eye. :-)

The best idea is to not mess with their property.
