If you hear a groaning noise when you are braking, the problem is most likely not brake related. When you apply the brakes, your suspension will typically shift down a bit. This means suspension parts like the control arm bushings, ball joints and the sway bar links. If any of these parts are loose or worn out, they could be causing the groaning noise you hear.
