A sniper can take upto 2 hours and more to locate a target.
Once the round is fired, they are gone. they dont stay around for an hour to let the enemy locate them.
This sounds total rubbish you have posted. How about some links to back up your theory?
My son is a sniper, as was i, so i do know what i am talking about.

I'm saying that most 'snipers' in environments like Falluja, are just people taking pot shots from a third story window or something. People who take pot shots from windows might not be very tactically proficient and hang around and take a few more shot. That would be plenty of time to triangulate the sound and mass fires on say, the top north corner of a building. Or have an Abrams just blow that corner of it away. That's what I'd do.

I know what is happening over there, but a sniper in the true sense of the word would not give his posistion away.
The fact that these so called snipers are staying put and being taken out is proof that they are not snipers.
As i said before, no sniper would stay in posistion once the round has been fired. This would be tantamount to suicide.
One more time for emphasis

Locating far-field impulsive sound sources in air by triangulation.

The firing of a gun generates an acoustic impulse that propagates radially outwards from the source. Acoustic gun-ranging systems estimate the source position by measuring the relative time of arrival of the impulse at a number of spatially distributed acoustic sensors. The sound-ranging problem is revisited here using improved time-delay estimation methods to refine the source position estimates. The time difference for the acoustic wavefront to arrive at two spatially separated sensors is estimated by cross correlating the digitized outputs of the sensors. The time-delay estimate is used to calculate the source bearing, and the source position is cross fixed by triangulation using the bearings from two widely separated receiving nodes. The variability in the bearing and position estimates is quantified by processing acoustic sensor data recorded during field experiments for a variety of impulsive sound sources: artillery guns, mortars, and grenades. Imperfect knowledge of the effective speed of sound travel results in bias errors in the source bearing estimates, which are found to depend on the orientation of the sensor pair axis with respect to the source direction. Combining the time-delay estimates from two orthogonal pairs of sensors reduces these bias errors.
