I have notice squeaking noise when I brake at slow speed. I don’t think it is from the brake disc, because I could hear anything when I roll down the windows. Bring to the service consultant’s attention when I am in for first 1K service. Did road test and we have discover it is from brake accumulator.
Just do this simple test to find out if you have the same problem. Start the engine, keep in “Park”, keep all windows up, turn off A/C and stereo. Step on the brake pedal and release, repeat this for 2 to 3 times. You will hear a little squeaking noise coming from real right side. The noise will come on while you are driving as well, it is ealier do the test while you are parked.
Just want to find out if anyone else experience the same problem.

Newlee, Thanks,
Here is some additional information. When I get my LX570 in for 5K service 10 days ago. I asked the service guy about the noise again. We sit in another LX570 they had in the lot. That one has the same noise coming from the front under the hook. The service guy point out the noise is coming from the brake accumulator. When the brake fluid pressure drop to certain level, the motor will start which make that noise. The motor runs just about every other time when you press the brake pedal. Which confirm this is the nature of LX570. Two days later, when I in a friend’s LX570, it does the same. Both cars make the same noise, just not as noticeable compare to mine.
