Some sort of security system that blocks voices/actions/etc from being "broadcast" from my apartment. Is there such an animal?
I realize the best solution is to get a house. But land being what it is, and costs associated with it, it's a last resort option. In terms of the RP aspect of my ava, I prefer an apartment.
Thoughts? Ideas? Solutions?

As far as I know there is no such device. That said you can change your settings on your "parts" (if Xcite) to whisper instead of say.
Chat has several limitations, this is my understanding of them:
Shout - distance heard 40m
Say - distance heard 20m
Whisper - distance heard 10m
IM - private between 2 or more people
Anyone within the distance noted above will hear what is said other than if you restrict all conversation to instant message. I know that Xcite parts are configurable to change it to whisper, not sure of other "brands" none of them to my knowledge will communicate in IM.
hope this helps
*hugs*

It's not the xcite parts that I'm concerned about most, in as much as just general converstation. I would prefer some fashion to have *some* privacy, outside of IM's. Call me a purist, but emotes in IM's just lack "feel" to them, in an RP sense.
Ah well. Thanks for the incite.

I try to place my skypod apartments with chat distance in mind. It doesn't keep people from flying near and hearing, but it at least makes sure that people at home won't hear people in other apartments. Probably mucks up flying more. Tradeoffs.

Number of prims? I'd be interested in possibly renting one. |

The only gadget I've found that stops others from hearing what i'm saying is this cool thing called IM. There's no extra dl required or purchase (unless of course you'd like to tip me for the suggestion, but a better tip might be "keep your snarky responses out of my thread, Xyr!"  . GL! ^^ |

put your house in the sky, get a security orb that scans and pushes people away if within a certain range, set it to 40~60 meters with a 6 second wrning you should be good.
if a neihbor puts a house at the same level, move yours higher or lower. i helped a freind setup a skybox on a 512m plot of land and has had no problems.
