I think you're talking about a different problem, though that one could also be helped with the right tool.
After setting up the array, once could answer questions like "where is that darn squeak coming from!", and even characterize the undesirable noise, both spatially and spectrally. You could also measure how effective noise isolation materials are, but I don't see what the spatial information gets you.
However, if weaknesses due to "perimeter gasketing, frame, door leaf, or wall construction" result in some sort of localized noise, then a system like this would certainly pinpoint it.
