2022 Ford F-150 2700mi. Ticking/clicking/cracking noise coming from the brake pedal area when applying pressure on the brake pedal. Happens typically at lower-medium speeds or stationary at about 25-50% pressure on the brake pedal about 75% of the time. Did not notice for the first 500 miles or so. Also, releasing the brake pedal from stationary occasionally releases a slight creaking sound. Wondering if I should bring it in or if these noises are just quirks. Everything seems to be functioning fine.
Update: I brought it to the dealer, explaining the situation to a couple of service associates. They took a closer look at it and gave me a loaner for a day. The service associate returned to me the next day and told me that the master shop foreman said that the noise was normal, that it was just the electric brake booster causing the sound, and that it is safe and normal for operation. It was weird, however, because my loaner was also a brand new '22 F-150, and the brakes did not make the same sound. They said that some trucks make the sound and some don't and that Ford is aware of the sound and taking a closer look at it.

Make a video of the noise. Then go to the dealer and check if the dealership test drive vehicle also exhibits the same noise/s. If it doesn’t, demand your brand new vehicle be fixed and works like it should.
All the best!
Ford is aware of the sound and taking a closer look at it.
Make them all give this to you in writing. In future (outside warranty), if it turns out that it’s not normal, you’ll have written proof of the problem.
