The present study aimed to find out whether noise and crowding has an effect on the aggression of pre-school children. This was done through the use of an experimental method. Forty (40) pre-school children ages four (4) to six (6) participated in the experiment. They were divided into eight (8) groups with 5 students each and were randomly chosen. The children were observed during their free-play under the following conditions: Absence of Noise and Crowding (-N-C) Presence of Noise and Absence of Crowding (N-C) Absence of Noise and Presence of Crowding (-NC) and Presence of Noise and Crowding (NC). According to the statistical and the researcher's observational analysis, the independent variables did not contribute to the aggression outburst of pre-school children. The researchers believe there are other possible causes that we should look into that may trigger aggression among children.
