What would cause a knocking noise when pressure is applied to the brakes?

I just recently experienced this same symptom, although our causes may be different. In my case, the slide bolts had come loose and fallen out on my front left tire! My caliper wasn't being held in place when I applied the breaks and was wobbling around on my rotor (thankfully, I caught it before it caused any damage). I bought new bolts and pins, lubed up the pins and made sure the bolts were on there nice and tight. It's been 2 weeks and I haven't experienced any more problems... *fingers crossed*

If the rear brakes are drum brakes, then there could be a leaky wheel cylinder. The wetness inside the drum will cover all the brake shoes and parts and cause the wheel to lock up when applied. The build of pressure could be due to the wheel cylinder leaking and causing a pressure loss, but rising when the brakes are applied or pumped up. This may/may not be your case, but definitely worth checking the rears.
