Weird brake noise

Aug 29, 2008 1 Replies

It's my 2001 Impala, 70K. When braking, I can hear kinda "bell ring" noise, like a jack hammer is working somewhere far away. The harder the brake is applied, the louder the noise. When car windows all closed, I can hardly hear it.



What could be wrong?



Thanks.

Sounds like a warped and possibly cracked rotor. I'd have it checked out ASAP.
