Weird feel when breaking in traffic

Hi All,

In heavy traffic or even normal traffic, when I use my breaks to break gently I hear and feel a mechanical action. Its like its working and doing something. The sounds is like when you roll down the side windows electrically but a bit stronger and louder.


Is that normal or is there something wrong with the breaking function/system.

Thanks in Advance

FYI

Ok so I posted on some other forum and they said it could be the break pump or sbc system re-priming.

Merc seems to do some mods at the end of 2005
