The subject says it all.

When i break i hear a long Buzz sound then a kinda loudish Tick sound. It's random, not everytime i break.

It sounds like some system kicking in or something but i wonder why it's random, and happens even when i touch the break gently to come to stop so i don't think its the ABS.

It doesnt sound mechanical it sounds more electrical like some system starting up.

Is this normal?

I think i have bad breaks (bad disks) because i just bought it 3 months ago and when i touch the breaks to slow down it pulses.

Thanks

This is your brake booster system. On 2001 and 2002 models, this system replaced the vacuum booster of earlier versions.

It took me a little while to get used to it. But it is normal functioning.

Welcome to the 2001 - 2002 world of braking - here is another thread discussing the issue, bottom line is that the noise is normal.

Pulsing during braking would indicate a warp in the rotors, mine does it a little bit, but I'll live with it until it gets a more annoying.

Yep... nothing to worry about. It will do it every 5 or 6 brake pedal pumps. You'll get used to it and learn to ignore the noise.
