Default Noise when releasing brake pedal

I'm loving my new ES 350 so far. I only have one minor problem: When I lift my foot off the brake pedal (the regular brake not the parking brake) it comes up so fast it makes a thud sound. Anyone else experience this? I'll add a video later if needed.

Yes! Not really concerned about it, but my passengers have commented on it before.

You would've noticed it by now. There's nothing wrong with the brake except the noise from the brake coming back up is a bit non-Lexus like.

I feel good about the nice heavy spring which makes this noise.

It means I can stop, which is a good thing.
