Does anyone know if there's people that specialize in figuring out where noise is coming from in a place?

I know it sounds weird... but someone above me in my building, they run their washing machine the entire night... like we are talking starts at midnight and stops at 6am... I have no idea how many loads or what the reason is... but it's every. single. night.

When the machine gets into a noisier cycle or the load gets imbalanced, I've tried so many times to go upstairs into the hallway to like... listen at doors (as much as I can without being a total creeper) or see where it's coming from but I cannot for the life of me figure out which unit it's coming from.

I tried blanketing the 6 units above in notices a couple times pointing out the hours for running these things to no avail, but the strata company can't do anything monetary fine wise unless I figure out which fucking unit it is.

I think I need someone that specializes in like... sound analysis? Or has special equipment that can enhance sounds? I don't know...
