Cant explain why it happens but mine was fixed by having the valve tappets adjusted correctly by a honda dealer.

The brake booster uses a lot of vacum.
If you are sitting at idle and step on the brake does the idle drop a couple hundred RPM?
If that happens check for vacum leaks

Yea that is exactly what happens. Me and my friend checked everything and nothing seems disconnected or leaking.
