    My Prius 2009 brakes make a knocking noise. Well I am not sure what it is.
    The car tics tics tics when I park it. And when I press the break pedal.
    I can hear it coming from under the car some where.
    Any Idea what it is?

    I have a youtube with the sound, but I am new and can't post it yet.

    IMHO; take it to a tire shop or mechanic. That's something you shouldn't mess with; if you can't do a simple troubleshoot like that.
