I was told to tap it just use none sharp rubber hammer or fold your fist, hit with round soft part. It will sound hollow or sound free. U can tell sound . Watch where electric is placed also Way we do minor wall projects. Think u can buy a detector reasonably at our favorite stores for home suplies.
Should be across doorways and windows
Load bearing walls run perpendicular to the joists.
