What kind of sound? Is it a vibrating sound and then the pedal seems to push against your foot? If that is it then it is your ABS engaging. When your ABS engages your foot will get a nice vibrating massage. The first time I had to use ABS I was like, uhmm... is it supposed to do that? So what ever is happening may be normal. But I am not sure if what I just described is what is happening to your car.

By the way it is spelled "Brake” not "Break"

 

i am sure it's not the ABS, the pedal didn't vibrate when i heard the noise

 

you'll have to be more specific as to what the "strange" sound is. like Yyz said, when the abs enages, it will make a fast clicking sound, and the pedal will push back at your foot. this is normal. if that isn't your symptom, and you are worried about the brakes, get them checked at the dealer.
