Hissing Sound followed by small motor running in the front while braking
I bought a used 2013 Lexus LX (52K miles) from a non Lexus dealer and loving the car every day, every single feature is luxurious and ride quality is awesome. I did not give importance to this when I test drove the car but just started noticing a Hissing sound when driving followed by the a small motor running noise in the front of the car and it goes away after the vehicle comes to the stop completely. But the hissing noise is not coming when the braking is sudden.
Not sure if this is normal as I just upgraded from my RX so was wondering if it is normal for the LX. It will be great to hear back from current LX owners with their years of experience owning a LX. And not sure if this is covered as part of Lexus Powertrain warranty.

Since the LX570 has hydraulic suspension, the hissing sound during braking is probably the vehicle trying to level itself out. I have a 2017 and it does that too after braking. So it is completely normal.
