Weird noises coming from behind my steering wheel

I have a 1999 GS400 and have noticed this weird noise coming from behind my steering wheel every time I press on my brakes... Has anyone had this problem before or is my car just haunted?

This is a video

Its your brake master cylinder going bad.

Open your hood and have someone press on it, you'll hear it up by the fluid tank behind your booster.

I had a similar problem with my old sc430 and it was the abs pump cycling because something was wrong with him pump module itself. It kept testing itself and made the same noise.
