Get him fixed that will most likely help calm him down.

Males are more likely to prowl than females, and that probably won't change. However if he's "crying" then he probably is homesick, since he's newly adopted. If so, once he adjusts to you and his new home, he'll calm down.
If he's adjusting to you well and is an adult cat (you didn't mention his age) you may be able to help him. When he meows and prowls, follow him. He'll probably do one of two things. If he's upset by something specific, he'll lead you to it -- most cats are smart enough to "communicate" in this way, if you just pay attention to the signs he gives you. Perhaps there's a closed door that he wants open. Maybe a neighbor cat is "teasing" him through a window, whatever, he'll lead you to something. Alternately, he may lead you on a "wild goose chase" meandering throughout every room in the house. My cat does this whenever he's in a new environment, because he wants the reassurance of having me with him while he explores. Once he's explored every area thoroughly with me tagging along behind, he'll calmly come to me to be petted then find a nice comfy corner and take a nap -- secure in his new place.
Good luck!

It takes a cat a couple weeks to acclimate to his new environment.
Everytime I moved my cat would hide in the closet for almost two weeks.
If it's been adopted from a shelter or was a stray it may not have had proper treatment as kitten and be poorly socialized.
If that's the case try some feathers on a string tied to a stick and try to get it to play. The more you get it to play the more socialized it will become.

I have 4 cats, so i know what it is like to have cats meowing ALL of the time. My oldest cat just got diagnosed with a thiroid problem and has to be on medication or she might die. SHe crys a lot because she is always hungry. Maybe you should see if your cat eats his food and likes it or i suggest you get another kind.
Also have you noticed that your cat is going to the bathroom, because my youngest cat has a uranal track infection and crys a lot because he can not go to the bathroom. SO check if he goes to the bath room, if not get him checked out.
Or maybe he is just simply homesick and not use to your home yet, give him affection food water and time to ajust!

If he's newly adopted he might be uncomfortable with his surroundings. Try placing him and his litterbox and food in one room of the house and see if he settles down. After he's adjusted to that one room you can let him into more rooms and he'll have the original room to return to if he gets stressed. I usually keep a new cat confined to one room for a couple of weeks and only take them out when I'm holding them. Usually after a few minutes of being out of their room they start to cry and want to go back but after a bit they adjust and want to explore the whole house.

Some cats seem to be more in tune with their "wild" family members. In the wild, cats would roam and often call out to the other members of their pride. Try buying him some cat toys to keep him busy and let him wear himself out.

Some cats are naturally talkative. But you may want to take him for a check-up if ihe's really crying instead of talking, just in case.
Good luck!

My kitty, Ernesto, stalks around jsut whining and complaining and raising hell all day and all night. Wants in, wants out, wants petting, wants to be left alone. My girl kitty Calabaza is perfectly content to jsut sit there purring. I think it's a man thing, and clearly it crosses all species.
