A reciprocating type compressor including a cylinder block (1), a cylinder head (3) joined to the outer end of the cylinder block (1) and provided with a discharge chamber (3b) or a suction chamber and a valve plate (4) held between the cylinder block (1) and the cylinder head (3) has an auxiliary discharge chamber (16) (or an auxiliary suction chamber) formed in a portion of the cylinder block (1) surrounded by an arrangement of cylinder bores (1a) formed in the cylinder block (1), and the auxiliary discharge chamber (16) (or the auxiliary suction chamber) is communicated with the discharge chamber (3b) (or the suction chamber) by means of at least one through-hole (17) to reduce the discharge pressure pulsation or suction pressure pulsation to thereby reduce the vibration of the gas-conduit line and, when the compressor is incorporated into an climate control system of a vehicle, to reduce noise in the passenger compartment. The auxiliary discharge chamber (16) (or the auxiliary suction chamber) may be connected to a discharge passage (or a suction passage) by an outlet through-hole (or an inlet through-hole).
