Can a child make a ghost less active?

It has been a little more than a month since I moved into my 1941-built home. Since our arrival, the activity in the home has subsided a bit. I'm just curious if it's possible that a ghost could become annoyed with a noisy child's presence and decide to leave or go elsewhere.

It would seem quite natural for a ghost to leave when a noisy child is running about. After all, if you could leave, wouldn't you do so? Any thoughts?
