Do I Need to Sound Proof My Room For Streaming

Do I Need to Sound Proof My Room For Streaming? I am starting steaming and I have my brother in the other room yelling do I need to sound proof.
If so what should I use since I have a long room could I only do it for a certain section
Thank

Actually, people don't seem to understand how microphones work. Which is why you hear people who use one tapping on the keyboard with an open mic. This is all about sensitivity and capping.
If your sensitivity is low enough, the mic won't pick up your brother screaming in the other room. But will easily pick up what you are talking about, as long as you are using a directional mic/mouth piece.
Also, most sound doesn't go through walls, it goes through your door.

I think you should be OK, but I don't know how loud your brother is... all you can do is try it first and see what you can do after that. Just don't turn the gain to maximum.
