I had a similar sound for a while on my 1986 244. Low brake pressure, not much variation with time of day, or if first or later start. The sound was amazingly loud.

Sounded to me like a worn down brake pad was vibrating on the rotor in a frequency that resonated with the natural frequency of the coil spring. Later when the pads were replaced the sound went away.

Check the pads - that's my only guess.

Good Luck,

Bob
