This isn’t about “computer” security but hope it’s okay to post. My room is bugged. (Please no crazy/paranoid jokes. It took me months/years experimenting on the bugger’s reactions). So far I’ve been using music & radio to annoy the bug. I see sound jammers/audio jammers selling from $80 to $365 to $2100. I don’t know much about electronics & want an inexpensive jammer that really works. Also what about white noise generators? Jammer devices sound like they have more direct action. Are they all just gimmicks or do they really work?

Ok.. this is rather unusual ..
First thing you need to do is to examine why some one would want to bug your room.
You can and quote:
[ul]
[li]Use your cell phone to pick up an electromagnetic field. Place a call on your cell phone, then wave the device around where you think there might be a camera or microphone. If you can hear a clicking noise on the call, it means your phone might be interfering with an electromagnetic field. From (Quora)[/li][/ul]

No offense but I am way past that point & am currently trying to disturb the bug. To answer that question, I can only think that he (a family member who does not like that I moved in to the house) is nosy or hopes to find some negative information to use against me. I made a call on my cell phone & waved the phone near all 4 walls. I also put it on speakerphone. No clicking. I did not talk though. I used Best Buy’s 1800 # after hours just to use their recording for this test. I read that bugs transmit on short wave & can be picked up on dirt-cheap transistor radios. I turned on my hand-held am/fm transistor radio & waved it around the area I believe the bug is & the radio always gets staticky. As soon as I move away from that area the radio plays fine again. I waved the radio everywhere else in my room & it plays fine. Currently soon to buy an audio jammer; I don’t need a bug detector also but I’m thinking of buying that too so I can put technical proof on this. Actually I believe I will buy a detector also because I may be wrong concerning the exact whereabouts of the bug. It may very well be somewhere close to the believed area.Originally posted by vger

Personally, if the OP doesn’t own the home and the homeowner decides he wants to bug his own property, I think that is allowed. You can put surveillance cameras on your property (inside and outside as long as outside it is pointed towards your property and not someone else’s) and have the legal right to do so. I was trying to get information on listening devices but everything seems to be geared towards video surveillance.
The problems arise when you bug a “public” place rather than a private residence. Or taping inside private property when you are not the owner.Comment
