When you apply the brakes you hear a growling noise from the engine compartment and it can be felt in the brake pedal what is wrong?

if it only does it when you apply the brakes hard it could be the anti-lock brake system depending on the year some have a pump and its noise is what is described. The other possability is front disk brake pads are worn off and and gringing away the rotor.

Why does it sound like leaking air when you apply your brakes and the more pressure applied causes the car to stall?
This sounds like vacuum leak in the braking system. Check for disconnected or cracked hose from the engine to the brake booster in the engine compartment.
Why does a 1995 s10 blazer shut off when brakes are pressed?
Is your brake pedal hard ? If so replace the power brake booster. It sounds like you have a major vaccume leak in the booster when you apply the brakes. Power brakes work off of engine vaccume. If the dieafram is leaking vaccume when you apply the brakes it leans the engine out. ( creates a major vaccume leak ) and engine dies. Hope this helps.
