Most cars with some form of power-assist brakes use engine manifold vacuum to literally "suck" the brake pedal towards the floor, based on how hard you push the pedal down. What you're hearing is the air moving through the control valve in the booster housing.

How do you adjust air brakes on a 1987 L 8000 Ford?
Illegal to do without being certified to adjust and repair air brakes. Sorry, but we're not allowed to answer this question here.
Do you have to have a truck with air brakes to take your cdl driving test?
The answer can be yes or no here, situation dependent. If you intend to operate a CMV equipped with air brakes, the answer is yes - if one does not pass the written air brakes test and perform their road test in an air brake equipped vehicle, they get a restriction on their license prohibiting them from operating commercial vehicles equipped with air brakes.
How does a solar powered car stop?
brakes, or no sun
How do hgv brakes work?
My understanding is this: HGV brakes operate on compressed air as I am sure you know, however the brakes are spring loaded which means rather than applying the brakes, the air pressure is what keeps them OFF, so when the system runs out of air the brakes will lock on solid. when you are driving and you push the brake pedal what is happening is that the pedal valve is shutting off the supply of air to the brake chambers and the friction material (either shoes or pads) is drawn by spring pressure towards the disc or drum.
Your Honda CRV 2001 sometimes stalls out at a stop sign when the brakes are applied what could be wrong and potential fixes Thanks for any help?
Engine stalling when applying brakes is usually indicative of a leaky brake booster. The brake booster uses and stores engine vacuum while driving to assist your braking effort (power brakes). When the booster's air diaphragm is leaking air, applying brakes causes a substantial vacuum leak in the intake manifold, causing the engine to stall.
If you brakes are wet should you dry the brakes by driving slowly in low gear while applying the brakes?
Yes, that will work.
When applying pressure to brakes lightly brakes lose compression Why?
faulty master brake system
Do air brakes use brake fluid?
No, they use air pressure or actually the lack of air pressure to stop the vehicle. The brakes are fully on until pressure builds up in the tank releasing the brakes. When you push the brake pedal this removes air from the system and applies the brakes.
How do you adjust brake imbalanced?
We would need to know what type of brakes you have... S-cam air brakes, air disc brakes, air piston brakes, air wedge brakes, hydraulic drum brakes, hydraulic disc brakes... they're all different.
