Default strong vibration sound

could use some help, while braking i have noticed a rattling/vibration coming from what feels and sounds like the back of the motor/trans. The vibration usually only comes under braking (sometimes while turning) and it does not matter if its heavy braking or light, its still there and loud. Once i stop the vibration stops even if my foot is till on brake pedal. I dont think its the brakes because the vibration does not change with speed, can literally roll at 1mph and get the same vibration as 50.

can someone please point me in the right direction.

go to Pepboys and have them check your breaks. You could have warped rotors. If I'm correct they shouldn't charge. I could be wrong

Sounds like clutch buzz to me. Does the sound change if you push the clutch in and coast in neutral?

no, the sound and vibration are there while coasting clutch in or out. its there only when i press the brake pedal. I would say its the rotors or something in the brakes but the vibration does not change with speeds. like i said i can be rolling at 2mph and as soon as i apply the brakes the vibration comes just as strong as if i was doing 50.

Sure its not your ABS engaging slightly every time you press the pedal? I know if you have debri on a ABS ring or one thats slipping it will cause the ABS to kick on.

If the vibration is the same reguardless of speed thats the only thing i can think of withought hearing/seeing it myself.

When I had clutch buzz it was in the 3K-4k RPM range. I would hear it mostly when I was letting go of the gas and in gear. I finally got my creaking sound out thanks to the front page article.
