Default Weird noise coming from under car

A few days ago i started to hear a weird noise coming from the left side of my car. I'm not exactly sure what it is, but i dont think it sounds normal. Theres also a weird noise when i press the brake before i come to a complete stop. Do you guys have any idea what it could be before i bring it to Lexus?

I have the same thing. It comes from the area where the parking brake pedal is. It happens when I step on the brake, just like you, and sometimes when I unlock the car and get in. Sounds like a whooshing, or a motor being activated. Just got my car a month and a half ago, and will have it diagnosed in a week or two.

Maybe someone who has experienced this can share the cause and fix!

Yes when I press the brake it sounds like that. Today I put my car in park put the parking brake on then shut it off and the noise wasn't there on my way home. I will double check tomorrow. But my other problem is different sound coming from my wheels when my car is moving. I can't really explain the noise but it kind of sounds like rusted metal spinning around new metal

Um u are probably referring to rust on rotors when the car is left overnight in rain. Just do 2-3 stops it all goes away.

If it is a clicking noise it could be your brake shims. Probably good to take it in and have a repair guy ride with you so they can hear the noise.

I just bought my 430 and have a problem when I hit the brake you hear and feel a vibration In the pedal. it's def not the rotors because sometimes it does it in park.

i have the same noise. I can almost describe it as a creaking sound. I hear it as I am coming to a stop and sometimes in park.
