Since I've had my car, right when I start moving after startup, the car would make a very loud honking noise. Just today I was braking after driving for a while and heard the noise again. This is most definitely an air leak somewhere in the braking system, but where could there be an air leak?
 
i checked that out earlier, looks fine. sprayed a little carb cleaner all over to check for air bubbles and found nothing
 
Sounds like the moose...he visits me all the time. Soon after starting my car and random times while I'm driving. It's getting pretty loud. The throttle hang fix will fix the problem...TH Fix.
 
By the way, the brake booster works on vacuum, so you won't see any bubbles. Check to make sure the grommet is nice & snug against the booster, and check your booster vac line.
