Some hazards posed by the operation of hydraulic systems, connected with low-frequency vibrations and noise are presented. Special attention is focused on infrasounds. The sources of low-frequency vibrations and noise and ways of reducing them are indicated. An original solution ensuring the effective reduction of vibrations and noise in a wide frequency range, i.e., a wide-band damper of pressure fluctuations, also performing the function of an acoustic filter, is proposed. The effectiveness of the damper was confirmed by the results of laboratory tests and tests carried out on engineering machines working in real conditions.
