Yep, they are semi-detached Oh, then it's easy. Tape the microphone to the common wall. Pick a spot roughly in the middle between the sides, top and bottom of the room.

pictures No thatch. I'm crushed. No dog, either. How many fireplaces do you have? Can you block the openings or close the dampers during the noise events? This from the observation that opening the windows and doors changes the effect. That's why I said it reminded me so much of my electrical noise...
