A farmers' method is to take a long screwdriver, put the handle against your ear and the blade against valve cover with engine running (be careful so nothing you wear nor any body parts are caught in the fan and the belts, and that you don't burn yourself on the engine or exhaust headers) - by moving the screwdriver blade front to back on the cover, and even down to the block between exhaust ports, you should be able to hear where the noise is located.
