Also, the spectrum of a popped balloon or (especially) a clap will often be very colored, and the sound energy is not always directed uniformly, so there will be slight differences in the stereo field of the recording. I've found that you can average that out to some extent by stacking multiple recordings and carefully phase-aligning them, but a sine sweep is consistently flat (or as flat as a given speaker/mic configuration will allow).
In my experience trying the sine sweep method outdoors, the main thing I've discovered is that coyotes absolutely love it. One day, I will get a single clean sweep recording, and it will be glorious.
