The dealership did a fluid flush - and that eliminated the noise - but only for about a month. Now the “bark” has returned. With no problems other than the noise - I’ll probably hold out on replacing the actuator till the car throws a light or something but eventually a replacement will be imminent….

My 2007 ls460 was doing this sound and dealer said the actuator was going out. I didn’t want to take any chances of a failure so my mechanic replaced it and the sound went away and brakes work great now.
