Going by sound works quite well, although I imagine not for Ed.
Indeed, two remedy I usually use for this, the usual smartphone (I have a white background on the lock screen for this), or simply putting my hand on the calipers and feel the little rub.
Easiest way I find to adjust is to tighten up one bolt a little.
I do that too, not something I recommend for obvious reason but I put a tiny dab of copper slip between the bolt and washer to allow the washer to stay put and not move the calipers.

Going by sound works quite well, although I imagine not for Ed, but looking through is equally good, I find a light surfaced floor is enough if you're in a well lit room or outside. Easiest way I find to adjust is to tighten up one bolt a little, just with the long end of an allen key, then move the other side until quiet or by eye, then tighten that up the same, back off the other and do the same then evenly tighten up both bolts, maybe going back to the first if it moved a bit.
