So my brother and I have to have our computers in the same room. He gets really loud and annoying and it's quite bad because my mic picks him up a lot when I'm with friends or streaming. We have maybe 3-4 feet of space between each other. Any way to make it quieter for me and others?

duct tape to the mouth

Other than just being further away from him, or making a soundproof booth around you (not worth it) there is not much you can do. Or you should set up times with each other on who can game when.

The duct tape might be most effective

Yeah... you really need your own separate playtimes, or push-to-talk for both of you.

Maybe. I still have to deal with yelling in my ears

Realistically, you need to work it out between you two, or if that doesn't work, with one or both of your parents as a mediator.

 

How old are you, and your brother?

Talk with your parents. It`s their fault to make another kid whom they can`t provide with another room to live in.

If they are not willing to listen just burn down the house.
