A wheezing sound comes from the engine compartment when I step on the brake pedal. Sounds like someone with asthma. The wheezing goes away if I push harder on the pedal or when I take my foot off the pedal.

Otherwise the brakes work fine. Brake fluid level is OK.

I wonder if there's something that needs to be fixed?

Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

Sounds like the sound could possibly be coming from the Brake Booster.Have someone apply the brake while you have the hood up and listen for the sound. Look for a vacuum leak at the booster.
