Default Weird motor noise coming from the Master Cylinder area

So I've been having this weird motor noise "creaking" when ever I press on the brake and release it. It sounds like a motor engaging and making a noise and it stops after like 5 seconds. Noise is coming from the master cylinder area.

The brakes seem to work fine and I dont have any fault codes or lights showing up.

Anyone have experienced this before? Just really annoying having to hear that noise.

I get a creeking noise when I depress my brake. It seems that when it's tight and I continue to push it down that it makes that noise. No idea what it is, has been going on for a long time with no isssue other than it's slightly annoying.

Yeah it sounds like the motor on the master cylinder is making that creaking noise, I have no idea why is it doing it. Im just really annoyed by it.

If it's the mbc, it's probably gonna get worse before it get's better. I had the same thing happen to mine and it sounded like babies screaming. Very embarrassing while at stop lights. lol Just one word of advice. ebay. The master brake cylinder is in the $2k range from the dealer iirc since the abs computer is built on it.
