    hello I can hear this sound while driving. It repeats every 15-20 seconds approximately and last for a few seconds. When I turn the car off, it continues for about 2 minutes. I’m trying to suppress the video I took and will try to upload. In the meantime I’ve imitated the sound he best I could. I have a 2012 Prius w/105k miles....thanks in advance. Can’t upload that either. So far now, does what I’m describing sound familiar to anyone?

    welcome!

    you need at least five posts i think to upload, but report your post and ask the mods if they can help.

    how long have you owned the car? when did the sound start?

    Thx for the information.. I just bought it a week ago. The sound started right away. Thought it was normal at first. Dealer confirmed it is not.

    Dealer is thinking brake booster and master cylinder?
