A method for reducing noise in a driveline (T; T1; T2) of a motor vehicle, the method comprising the steps of: - detecting a condition initiating a noise event of the driveline (T; T1; T2) by means of one or more sensors on board the vehicle, - controlling, as a function of the detected condition and of a signal (S_AS_IN, S_FLB_IN, S_FRB_IN, S_RLB_IN, S_RRB_IN) of said one or more sensors, an actuation of an internal combustion engine of the motor vehicle to apply torque to the driveline to generate a torsional pre-load condition in the driveline itself, - controlling, as a function of the torque applied to the driveline to generate the torsional pre-load condition and one or more signals of said one or more sensors, an actuation of one or more actuators (FLC, FRC, RLC, RRC) that govern corresponding devices that can be connected to the driveline (T; T1; T2) to mitigate the torque applied to the driveline by the engine, wherein said actuators include: - an actuator (FLC) of a front left brake (FLB) of the motor vehicle, - an actuator (FRC) of a front right brake (FRB) of the motor vehicle, - an actuator (RLC) of a rear left brake (RLB) of the motor vehicle, - an actuator (RRC) of a rear right brake (RRB) of the motor vehicle, wherein said controlling the actuators (FLC, FRC, RLC, RRC) that govern corresponding devices that can be connected to the driveline (T; T1; T2) to mitigate the torque applied to the driveline by the engine is carried out so that a resulting torque applied to wheels of the motor vehicle from the driveline remains unchanged by the torque applied to generate the torsional pre-load in the driveline. - detecting a condition initiating a noise event of the driveline (T; T1; T2) by means of one or more sensors on board the vehicle, - controlling, as a function of the detected condition and of a signal (S_AS_IN, S_FLB_IN, S_FRB_IN, S_RLB_IN, S_RRB_IN) of said one or more sensors, an actuation of an internal combustion engine of the motor vehicle to apply torque to the driveline to generate a torsional pre-load condition in the driveline itself, - controlling, as a function of the torque applied to the driveline to generate the torsional pre-load condition and one or more signals of said one or more sensors, an actuation of one or more actuators (FLC, FRC, RLC, RRC) that govern corresponding devices that can be connected to the driveline (T; T1; T2) to mitigate the torque applied to the driveline by the engine, wherein said actuators include: - an actuator (FLC) of a front left brake (FLB) of the motor vehicle, - an actuator (FRC) of a front right brake (FRB) of the motor vehicle, - an actuator (RLC) of a rear left brake (RLB) of the motor vehicle, - an actuator (RRC) of a rear right brake (RRB) of the motor vehicle, - an actuator (FLC) of a front left brake (FLB) of the motor vehicle, - an actuator (FRC) of a front right brake (FRB) of the motor vehicle, - an actuator (RLC) of a rear left brake (RLB) of the motor vehicle, - an actuator (RRC) of a rear right brake (RRB) of the motor vehicle, wherein said controlling the actuators (FLC, FRC, RLC, RRC) that govern corresponding devices that can be connected to the driveline (T; T1; T2) to mitigate the torque applied to the driveline by the engine is carried out so that a resulting torque applied to wheels of the motor vehicle from the driveline remains unchanged by the torque applied to generate the torsional pre-load in the driveline. <EOS>
