Well, my only reply would be to say that it sort of depends on how good your
ears are. ;=)

Seriously, when MY resonator does its typical thing, I can tell pretty well
that's where the noise is coming from. Perhaps the "modern" cars insulate
things well enough to make it more difficult. If the noise isn't coming from
the "resonator", then as you point out, it does get difficult. 

As I have also pointed out several times, it's awfully difficult to diagnose
a car by email!

Peace,

Simon
