A:Answer I don't believe there is a way to completely disable the microphone, which is located in the remote control. I believe it's not active or used unless you set it up first with your Google account. If you're worried about it, do what I always do for laptop cameras, put a piece of electrical tape over the two microphone holes on the top left corner of the remote control. That will help a bit but not block most of the sound. Really you'd need tape, then a thin layer of sound absorption material, covered by another piece of tape.
