Officials from a noise pollution team were brought in after neighbours claimed they were being confined inside their homes due to the "unbearable" screams of laughter from the youngsters.
Locals also complained about shouting by the school's sports teacher during games lessons at SS Osmund and Andrew's Primary School in Breightmet, near Bolton, Greater Manchester. One described it as a "monotone bellowing".
Nearly 150 people who live near the 384 pupil school which aims to "nurture the Christian values of love and respect for others" have signed a petition demanding that Bolton Council takes steps to reduce the noise.
Investigators have now caried out noises assessment tests to see if the levels of laughing exceed tolerable limits recommended by the World Health Organisation.
Headmaster John Thorpe said his school took all possible steps to be a good neighbour and he had changed the sound of the school bell in a bid to appease the neighbours who have also complained about footballs being kicked against the playground's mesh fence.
