Had a similar problem once. Got a friend to listen in the shack while I walked around the neighborhood with a sledgehammer. Every time I came to a utility pole i gave it a good whack. One particular pole, when ever I whacked it, there was a blip in the noise. Took the number of the pole, called the utility company and reported seeing sparks.
