The only thing we can do is we just make them realize that what their kid actually feel when they argue in such a way. If they ignore you then just write a letter to them and place it near their pillow.
Really this would make them realize their fault.

You should have a talk with them and let them know you are there and don't appreciate it. I know that can be indimidating and difficult, but once your parents are aware that you are around and experience their feelings too, the situation could get better.

Walk away from them, listen to music, paint, draw.. you can even talk to me I have gone through the same things and I understand how hard and complicated your situation may be. I would also suggest staying away from self-harm and thinking about it.

Put a physical distance between yourself and the stressful arguing whenever possible, leave the room and listen to music, meditate or go for a walk.

Be open and honest with them, explain to them how this is effecting you. If they know they should begin to be more cautious around you and maybe keep their arguments to themselves and away from you

Just ignore it the best u can. Better not to get involve or else things will get worse. But if u feel like its important for u to voice out ur opinion, talk to them slowly.

My parents divorced when I was really young. I had no choice but to witness. However to better grasp the situation I tried my hardest to understand their conflict and attempted to talk to them about it.

Talk to them. Tell them how much it hurts to see them like this. If they refuse to listen, when they argue just go. Go outside, go to a friends house, go somehwere that you can't hear them.

I'm really sorry to hear that you’re finding it difficult to cope with your parents getting divorced and constantly arguing in front of you. I can only imagine the turmoil you are feeling inside. We can equally love both our parent's and feel that as this relationship breaks what could this mean for us. What emotional or social implications could their divorce have on us? It's natural to feel hurt and let down by parents choosing to separate from one another. Parents are our hero's/someone we look up to follow. When that image 'failed', we can feel rather lost and upset. It’s really easy to say find own role-model to follow/ discover your own dreams, be independent and let your passion guide you but please feel free to open up to one of our listeners on our site or online therapists who have personal experience or specialized experience with family stress. Also available on our site are self-help guides and mindfulness exercises. Take care and hope everything turns out fine for you!
