ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for attenuating noise in a hydraulic circuit having a pump in fluid communication with a hydraulic actuator by a conduit. The method includes supplying a flow restricting device in the conduit and generating a signal representative of a fluid fluctuation in the conduit downstream of the flow restricting device. A bypass loop is provided in parallel with the flow restricting device and the bypass has a valve. The valve is controlled based on the generated signal to generate a corrective fluid flow to attenuate the noise.
