    If it is a rattle like a playing card in the spokes of your bicycle and only lasts a second, then it is normal. Has something to do with pressurising the brakes or something.

    But I think this is not what you mean, right?

    how long have you owned the car? when did it start? is the inverter pump working properly? could be a leaky brake accumulator.
