the brakes need service.
some shoe brakes do that normally if lightly applied.
they can act just like banjo string plucked. a shoe chatters fast.
they sell parts to stop that. if annoying. it is.
a brake shop can solve this easy.
any time brakes act odd or make odd sounds or leak fluid

it needs and inspection for sure.

Looking directly down at the top of the distributor with it in front of you and moving counter clockwise, the right hand tower closest to you is #1, the tower to your left is #2, the tower to the upper left closest to the block is #4 and the remaining tower is #3. Good luck
