The brilliance of trying to find studs in a wall is a stud finder is not even necessary. And, the process of doing so is not only ingenious but also incredibly simple. All you will need is your knuckles and your ears. And, here is how it works.
Place your ear on the wall you want to use and tap on it with your knuckles. If you notice that the sound is hollow then there is not stud where you knocked. What you are looking for is a dense or solid sound. Once you hear that, you have got a stud. Also, most studs will be either 16 or 24 inches apart from one another.
