When we suspected a power line leak, the noise was usually continuous,
not intermittent.    To verify which pole it came from, we used a
8-pound sledge to whack the pole, and if the noise changed, that was the
right spot.  Then we would notify the electric utility, having done
their work for them.

That tool, BTW, had a label on it:  "For Friendly Entries and Voluntary
Statements"   :)
