Effective methods to keep a nosy, old neighbor from eavesdropping on your privacy include installing soundproof walls, changing the angle of exterior corners so they are canted away from adjacent buildings, hanging tapestry or even curtains on exterior windows, and placing plant pots on the ledges of windows. Additionally, some homes have soundproofing devices installed such as soundproof spray insulation, acoustic caulking, foam board or drywall, as well as noise absorbing materials such as rugs and carpets in the walls, which can help minimize sound from seeping through. For neighbors with powerful microphones, it might be necessary to take more drastic measures such as purchasing special electronic devices which can disable them or even call the local police if necessary.
