A method for identifying a position of a source of noise in a marine seismic record includes defining, for at least one shot record, a set of possible noise source positions. A difference between travel time of noise from each possible noise source position to each of a plurality receiver position for the at least one shot record is determined. Signals from at least a subset of the receiver positions are time-aligned with respect to the difference between travel times for each possible noise source position. The time-aligned signals are then stacked. The noise source position is determined from the stacked, time-aligned signals. This result can then be used to construct a model of the noise at the receiver position.
