Hi Michael,
More than likely this is the brake booster. Do the brakes operate normally? If you have the engine off and you press the brakes, you will probably get 1-3 presses of the pedal before the vacuum is gone and the pedal gets hard. If this is the same noise you are hearing and the brakes are working then I suspect this is a normal condition.

Hello and welcome to 2carpros. Can you upload a video of the sound when you press on the brakes? I am asking because the GX does not have a brake booster? It has an acuator which is hydraulic and electric controlled? Attaching image.
