In a method for controlling a hydraulic braking system, wherein the braking system includes a hydraulic pump that is driven by an electric motor so as to generate a volume of fluid flow for the hydraulic braking system. the electric motor is controlled in such a manner that fluid pulsation in the hydraulic braking system is counteracted by means of modulating a rotational speed of the electric motor. The modulation is generated by means of the control procedure. Furthermore, a device is designed and configured so as to perform the method.
