Depending on your model year (many are different) there are short wire gizmos that plug in near the brake caliper, the black plastic end fits in the pad and wears off as the pads get too thin this cuts the wire or grounds the circuit triggering the lamp, buy new ones and it shoud reset the next time you start the car

It is a "chirper spring" that is warning you that you have very little brake pad left. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the answer, but I have already replaced the brake pads and brake disc. Before, I replaced that stuff, the sound was not there.

Air in a brake line or a bad master cylinder could cause this. Bleed the brake lines if you have been working on any brake cylinder. If this happened without any warning, the master brake cylinder is probably the cause and should be replaced.

If you have led lights when the brake light warning switch is closed (foot on brake) because it has a predetermined voltage and the rig is change to led's there is a different voltage used, hence an error warning light. can get around it by adding the original lamp in series with the brake circuit out of the way somewhere say under the dash.
