Civilizations at our tech level are undetectable from 4 light years away with our current tech. We have already reached the limits for a interstellar capable computer (IE something that could survive operating in 200 years of hard radiation). Smaller more complicated chips simply couldn't survive the crucible of a unshielded interstellar space travel. Also what reason would a species have to waste the enormous resources is would take to colonize more than a few nearby stars? That would be illogical.
