The meters, with transmitters, can be easily shielded.

Take one of those very large cans, the really big ones that hold tomatoes found at COSTCO, and cut it in half from top to bottom. Mount it behind the meter/tranmitter between house and meter.

There you go, all assured of a good night’s sleep without those nasty radio waves.

Won’t work unless you do something to prevent the waves from coming out the the open side. I’m not sure how much isolation a #10 can provides. BTW, a metal surface only blocks the E-field, not the H-Field. Even completely encasing it probably won’t do much good. Cell phones, for instance, are H-field sources, they easily pentrate Faraday cages like automobiles. Compact low frequency radiators tend to be H-field sources.

Well ground foil or conductive screen will help sheild most frequencies far from the source, granted.

Or course, if your problem is psychological, a #10 can is perfect.

Not unless you ground it. Otherwise the radio waves will find a way out.

Um, how are you going to be sure your COSTCO can doesn't re-radiate back into your house? Depending on the size, your can could be an efficient radiator, especially if it is tin-plated.

Please don't do this, folks.
