FAQ: Why do my front brakes make a whirring / cricket sound? Or does something actually vibrate or shutter when you apply the brakes?

I also assume by rattle you mean vibration when rear brake is engaged such as at a stop light This is normal and what you are feeling is engine vibration being transmitted to tout hands/body thru brake to frame
