Flapping noise - 2010 RA

so I hope if someone can help me out with this issue if anyone ever experienced it.

I have a 2010 RA , I experienced some flapping noise coming from the front end..only when I'm driving 20km/hr and applying the brakes, as soon as I let go of the brakes suddenly the noise goes away. its like a constant flapping/soft knock noise ...it's an intermittent noise, not everytime I perform this procedure I hear it...


Please Help with any experiences that you dealt with...thanks

I have that same noise from the passenger side front tire area. I've never figured out what it is. It only happens when I'm traveling over 30mph and I turn to the right. Kinda sounds like a loose piece of plastic that is flapping in the air and bouncing off the car.

Don't overlook a loose/hanging plastic undertray. When you hit the brakes - the front end dips - changing the airflow. At higher speeds you may not be hearing it due to ther (louder) noises - or the the loose section of panel is now tightly pulled down (and not flapping)...

meh. I hope it something simple/cheap like this...
