Can brake fluid make noise?
When your brake fluid is dirty or low, it isn’t able to depress your brake pads as efficiently as it should. This can cause uneven wear or even damage to your brake pads, which can cause grinding, squeaking, or squealing noises when you use your brakes.
Can Low brake fluid make brakes grind?

Why does my car make a hissing noise when I press the brakes?
It may sound like air is coming out when you press the brakes, but the air is being sucked in in reality. A leaking brake booster typically causes the noise.
