Insulation in Walls: Run Inspection Scope or Wire
Inspection Scope Shows No Insulation Copyright Lee Wallender; Licensed to About.com
Run the inspection scope or wire down. Because blown-in insulation can settle, leaving a space at top, it is important to check several feet down.

With the wire hangar method, you can quite clearly hear the hangar tapping both side of the wall. With the scope, it's visually obvious.
