    Hey my brand new 2009 makes this rattling noise sounds like its coming from the area of the brake petal - its does it predictably when braking and at certain speeds - is this a known issue? its not like a loose item type noise it sounds like a relay or a pump.

    TIA

    I have the same thing. Lasts only 5 seconds or so normally. Reminds me of a heatshield rattle, but has the kind of duration of a pump. Also an 09.

    Sounds like the brake accumulator pump. Totally normal.
