    My laptop is in the discription. It has the dual arry mics in it. I was wondering, is there anyway to decrease the sensitivity of the mics so they don't pick up sounds a few rooms away?

    Decrease sensitivity where?
    Just your general Windows environment, a specific programme e.g. Skype?

    For windows, right click the vlume icon in the lower right hand corner and select input/recording devices (German OS, this is translated) then go into the options and fiddle around with them

    For a specific piece of software like Skype go into Skype and go to the "audio management" somewhere in the options/preferences.
