Abstract

A hydraulic power brake system in which a hydraulic power brake booster has one or more back pressure control valves to produce a restriction downstream of the booster control valve after the booster has been actuated to build up some booster power pressure. This back pressure on the booster control valve is effective to control hydraulic valve noise during booster operation. There is substantially no fluid restriction in the booster when the booster is not actuated. Three back pressure control valve arrangements are disclosed.
