It may sound like air is coming out when you press the brakes, but the air is being sucked in in reality. A leaking brake booster typically causes the noise.

What to do when your car makes a noise when you brake?

The third way I found by trial and error (and pure frustration) is a quick fix using the emergency brake.

This is a fairly easy fix. Remove the two bolts holding the master cylinder in place and pull it away from the vacuum booster. Then disconnect the push rod from the brake pedal. Next, remove the four bolts or retaining nuts holding the vacuum booster onto the firewall.
