I had my car washed at the nearest petrol station, within 1km with slow drive to prevent brake become to hot before washing. But the loud noise would still appeared and it would last for at least couple km with usasge of brake before become normal.

 

Only happened 2 months back...

 

Will send in my car to C&C for them to rectify it..

 

Thanks for the advice.

Well, won-won definitely sounds better than lose-lose.

 

Not sure if this is the case but in some cars when the sensors sense that the brakes are wet, they will automatically start braking to generate heat to dry out the brakes.

One way to test this is to switch off your ESP and see if you still hear the sound.

Please bear in mind that switching off the ESP does not 100% switch off the controls - the wet brakes function could be outside of the ESP parameters & MOST IMPORTANTLY - switching off the ESP just means you're reducing safety controls. 

Be extra careful when you switch off the ESP to test the wet brakes.

Last time i heard the "won won" sound is in the casino near the jackpot machine :) ok irrelevant!!

On the serious note, after car wash and left it dry for couple of hrs. Then after when u want to drive it but the brake somehow got stuck and u can hear loud "tuck" sound before able ro move off. Is a sign for u to replace the brake pad. This is my personal experience, i might be wrong though.
