I was driving a CT200 the other week and noticed a high pitched squeal coming from the pedal area as soon as I touched the brakes. It didn't matter what the speed was, but at low speed the sound was more noticable because road noise is diminished. It kind of sounded like a combination of hydraulic fluid swooshing through an orifice and an electronic high pitched tone. The salesman said it was normal. I wanted to ask a mechanic but none were available. I've read a few posts on various forums and several people have complained about it. Anyone know the sound?

Hi,
I was driving a CT200 the other week and noticed a high pitched squeal coming from the pedal area as soon as I touched the brakes. It didn't matter what the speed was, but at low speed the sound was more noticable because road noise is diminished. It kind of sounded like a combination of hydraulic fluid swooshing through an orifice and an electronic high pitched tone. The salesman said it was normal.

Is there a fix?
Has anyone confronted their dealership about it?
Thanks.
