My Car is “Barking”?

[Jimrpa]

I just had the 40,000 mi service done last Wednesday. Today, when I was driving around, I noticed a faint “barking” sound. It sounded like it was off in the distance, so I disregarded it. I then heard it again later. It literally sounds like a dog going “arf “ one time when it occurs. I’ve noticed that it occurs under the following scenarios:
- The vehicle is at a complete stop and I begin to accelerate (one “arf “).
- I’m driving along and slow down (I use one pedal drive, so this could be simply letting up a bit on the accelerator). Again, just one “arf “.
I don’t own a dog, so I’m sure there’s not an animal back there. Anyone have any ideas?

Try recording it so we can hear what you hear?

Brakes sticking would be my guess. Any chance you drove in the rain recently?

We did have a bit of rain recently, but this is occurring in dry conditions. I’ll try to make a recording today, but the sound is very soft.
