Vehicle suspension control system and method for eliminating manifold exhaust noise during startup of compressor

The invention relates to a vehicle suspension control system and a method for eliminating manifold exhaust noise during startup of a compressor. An air management system and method are provided. The system includes a compressor and a storage tank coupled to the compressor. A manifold block has a plurality of valves, is coupled to the storage tank and the compressor, and is used for controlling airflow. At least one pressure sensor is coupled to the manifold block. The compressor includes a booster valve for selectively connecting the storage tank to an air inlet of the compressor directly. Anelectronic control unit is connected to the valves, the compressor, and the at least one pressure sensor, and is configured to provide pressurized air from the storage tank to the air inlet, determine the pressure difference between the manifold block and the booster valve, and maintain the pressure in the manifold block to reduce the starting torque of the compressor without exhausting the manifold block in response to t
