A noise-attenuating fluid transfer conduit, in particular for a pilot-controlled
power steering system of a motor vehicle, the conduit being mounted in a high pressure
circuit for connecting an electrically-driven pump to a controlled member which
is fed with pressurized fluid from said pump, said conduit being made up of alternating
segments of rigid tube and segments of flexible hose, and at least one noise attenuator
housed inside the conduit, wherein the flexible hose segments of the conduit are
of a length which is determined as a function of as short as possible a response
time associated with their volume expanding when the electrically-driven pump is
set into operation.
