METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR REDUCING OR ELIMINATING NOISE GENERATED BY THE DISC BRAKES OF A MOTOR-VEHICLE

A motor-vehicle braking system comprises an electronic controller (E2) configured to receive output signals from sensors (S) associated with the motor-vehicle disc brakes, which allow detection of a parameter (N) indicative of the degree of noise generated from each disc brake. When noise generation is detected, the electronic controller (E2) activates a noise attenuation function of a first type if the vehicle is braking and of a second type if the vehicle is not braking. The noise attenuation function of the first type involves reducing the actuating pressure of the fluid actuator associated with the disc brake for which noise generation is detected. The noise attenuation function of the second type involves temporarily activating - while the motor-vehicle is running and not braking - the fluid actuator associated with the disc brake which is generating noise. The electronic controller (E2) is also configured to receive a plurality of signals indicative of one or more operating parameters of the motor-vehicle, such as steering angle, vehicle speed, rotation speed of each wheel, yaw angle of the vehicle, gear inserted, clutch position, and drive modes, which allow conditions to be defined in which priority must be given to the safety of the motor-vehicle, and in which the noise attenuation function must be excluded.
