A method of measuring tolerance of white noise is described. The subjects were groups of children aged 5 and 10 years. Extraverts tolerated a significantly greater intensity than introverts. Boys tolerated a significantly greater intensity than girls. There was no difference between the two age‐groups in level of noise tolerance. The method can be used to measure extraversion in a younger age‐range than is possible with questionnaires. Results are discussed in terms of Eysenck's (1967) concepts of ‘stimulus hunger’, ‘stimulus avoidance’ and hedonic tone
