Abstract
A method for knock regulation in an internal combustion engine, includes using signals from at least one knock sensor to obtain knock values (KW) and using these knock values (KW) to form knock thresholds (KS) with which the knock values (KW) are compared for the purpose of identifying engine knock. Each determined knock value (KW) is compared with a limit value (g) and is replaced by a replacement value (E) if it exceeds the limit value (g), for calculation of a practical knock threshold (KS).
