Why does my car make a groaning sound when I release the brakes?
Yes, it is the sound of the brakes. Try put to N or P and see if the same sound happens, on level ground. I am sure the sound is because of the gears pushing the car forward, and the brakes trying to stop it.. Happens only on light braking.. or release very very slowly, will feel the groaning sound. I also got this sound from my aveo5 (auto)…

Why does my car brake pad make noise?
Keep copies of all your receipts. If the sound is similar to the way city buses sound when they brake, then it may not be a problem, just an annoyance. Some brake compounds do make noise.

Are groaning brakes a cause for concern? I had new brake pads installed about three weeks ago, and when I use the brake pedal to stop, the car makes a groaning noise. The mechanic told me that it takes about a month to “break the pads in,” and that after that, the noise will go away.
Why does my car make a groaning noise when I hit the brakes?
The groaning noise could be caused from improper break-in of the friction surfaces of the brake components. Try this. Get the vehicle up to 35-40 MPH. Then apply the brakes firmly to whoa the vehicle down as quickly as possible without activating the ABS.

Why are my new brake pads making noise?
RAY: What’s mating in your car are the new brake pads and the old disc rotors. I’m guessing that your mechanic didn’t change your disc rotors, probably in an attempt to save you some money. TOM: We don’t do that anymore because when new, perfectly flat pads press against old, grooved and uneven disc rotors, they make noise.
