When in drive, and I brake the car makes a weird sound. Not a "worn brake pad" noise.. I've had that experience before with a different vehicle. It's more of a sound that would be given if there were a "suspension squeak" or something along that line. My brake pedal does not pump back at me and there is no problem (to my knowledge) of a brake issue.. but this sound is only when braking in drive, not reverse. It's not a solid noise either.. it's a pulsating type noise.

No idea whats going on. Any suggestions?

Check the wheel bearings and inspect the front suspension

did it start suddenly? or gradually? you could ignore it and see if it gets worse? or get brakes inspected?

do you think it's front or rear? sometimes it's hard to tell.
