* On ''Series/YoungSheldon'' Sheldon's older brother Georgie can do this with tires, finding holes just by holding them and listening to them. This is a CallForward to his appearance in "Series/TheBigBangTheory" in which he runs a tire store chain called Dr. Tire.(A title he uses himself, which annoys his [[InsufferableGenius P.H.d brother]] to no end) Oddly, while he got his start in the business patching tires, his advice as Dr. Tire is, "Never patch, always buy new."

* Subverted in ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack''; the Millennium Falcon's hyperdrive repeatedly fails despite Lando Calrissian's insistence that it's fixed. [[spoiler:The subversion is he's right, the hyperdrive itself is fixed. An Imperial tracking device planted on the ship is interfering with its proper operation.]]
** Played straight earlier during the escape from Hoth when the ''Falcon'' is powering up. Han goes to the cockpit and the lights (and other power noises) die. [[PercussiveMaintenance A well-placed thump takes care of that.]]
* In ''Film/StarTrekInsurrection'', Captain Picard detects that the ship's torque sensors are ''slightly'' out of alignment because "they don't sound right."
** [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] when we find out in the next movie that Picard once suffered from an illness that cranks up the sufferer's sensitivity to the point that ''every'' minor sound was agony. He got it cured, but it stands to reason that it left him with extremely acute hearing (by human standards).

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': At one point in "Realty Bites", Homer drives the Lil' Bandit, Snake's car, by Springfield Penitentiary, and Snake says that the car is "in pain" from the way Homer guns the engine. He also takes a whiff of the exhaust fumes as Homer drives away and is able to determine that Homer is using regular gasoline instead of premium.
