A method for acoustic noise source detection. The method may comprise disposing an acoustic logging tool into a wellbore, performing an acoustic logging operations in the wellbore with the acoustic logging tool, forming a data set form the acoustic logging operation, and performing a cross-correlation function between pairs of hydrophones using the data set. The method may further comprise construction a cost function using at least in part the cross-correlation function to find a noise source distribution and identifying a location of the acoustic noise source by inverting the noise source distribution.
