Hey all,
I am having a really annoying issue with my SR5. I have taken it to Toyota, they didn't have a clue... go figure. I also have searched this forum, which btw, I have not posted on this forum yet, but I do read it daily... and omg do some of you ppl cry a lot about searching lol.

Anyways, to get to the point... when coming to a complete stop.. it is almost as if when the weight of the vehicle shifts upon completely stopping.. I hear this "ping" noise. It is quite faint but definitely noticeable. My wife can even pick it out by being on the passenger side with only my window (driver side) cracked. The so called "ping" noise is almost the noise of hitting two hollow pipes softly together. It is wierd..

Though it does not make my vehicle react differently or unstable. I have looked underneath the vehicle to see if something loose, yet no luck. The service guy at Toyota rode with me to listen to it, and he said.. "doesn't sound like anything we will be able to fix... but we'll check it out and grease everything up for ya..."

Any help is appreciated. I could try to get some kind of recording of it... but i do not know if any device that I own would pick up the noise clearly enough.

Maybe this isn't it, but I had a noise drive me nuts everytime I stopped too. Turned out to be the drivers side lower clip on my cargo net. Apparently it would swing just enough to hit the hatch. I was really happy when i found it! Next time do a search...kidding!

Clunk/twang in Brake Pedal?
Brake pedal Hiss
Brake Peddle Noise
Brake issue?
Squish sound when pressing brake.
Brake Override System
Yeah, when I searched I couldn't find anything on brake noise either lol. Maybe one of these links will help. If not, you have a new noise!
In reality, it could not be your brakes at all but a suspension component. Good luck!

NOOO it was u all this time! lol jk ;p

Is it louder from outside? Maybe your wife can stand outside and listen while you brake...

LOL 1engineer... it would take an engineer to answer like that (no hard feelings). KK so i know how to utilize the interwebs bud.. I don't need u to show me. Though none of the issues within this forum are similar to mine. Hence i stated plz don't be an ass of my thread and hijack it with... "Use the Search button plz, kthx"

Wellllllll, now that's interesting, when I told my wife to drive her own car, that 'noise' went away.

I see the correlation now....

hmm good suggestion, but the wife would be of no help in the area of... "can u figure out where it is coming from?" Maybe i'll just have to get a friend to check it out for me.

I kept hearing a squeak for the longest time and couldn't track it down. turns out it was my Yakima bike rack.

I'm an idiot.

Possibly the brake pedal assist spring according to google search?
Here is a thread from the Tundra forum with a sound clip.Unusual Clicking/Pinging Sounds While Braking? - Toyota Tundra Forums : Tundra Solutions Forum

It's nice that you have learned to use the internet. Maybe now you can concentrate on using complete words instead of 1337speak and quit being a jerk to people trying to help you.

ejalkh, meet SeattleMike. You will learn to love him for his brutal honesty

Hey Mike,
Thanks for your kind words. Let me take this introduction to apologize to you for my improper use of grammer while on the internet.. Let me apologize for in my initial post stating that I had searched the entire forum, and that I did not want anyone stating "Try the Search button," and lastly.. Let me apologize that my career be based on technology where I work with a bunch of geeks that all speak the same way that I do in leisurely manner and that while communicating via a forum, I refuse to construct my postings in a manner fitting for college paper. lol, being a jerk, how about someone not posting anything relevant to the issue at hand, and just calling someone out?
;p thanks for the welcome!

Hey Harper,
Thanks for your input, although the sound coming from my truck seems to be a higher pitched and seems to be coming from the rear. I'll have to get you guys some sound clips soon to see if you guys can understand what it may be.

Thanks Antman..
