... on our RHD cars there is a shaft to transmit the pedal pressure to the LHS master cylinder. My next question was, where does the creaking appear to come from. On our cars it would be easy to identify the right side or the left as the source of the noise, but for a LHD car, pinpointing the noise is going to be more difficult. Listening to the video, it sounds like a coil return spring creak at the 2 points of contact, eg the pedal and presumably the car chassis.
that popping noise sounds like the diaphragm in the brake booster. the brake pedal on babis's car is hooked straight to the booster because its left hand drive,on a right hand drive i30 the brake pedal is hooked to the booster via a rod that runs over to the left hand side of the car,and thats where the booster and master cylinder are.
Apart from your assessment of the noise, I said the rest in #6.
Assuming the brake fluid level is correct, & also assuming the brakes have no other defect in operation, if the noise is constant even when the braking foot is not moving, I'd suspect a brake servo issue.Silicone spray lubricant is not the solution here

Silicon spray must have some part to play

Why not show them the video & see if they think it doesn't exist after they see it.
I wonder whether there is a rod connected to the pedal which goes from the left side to the right side of the car then connects to the brake unit in the engine area on the right side.This rod is catching on something which is causing the noise.I say this as on some cars, depending on the placement of the brake unit which isn't directly behind the pedal, a connecting rod is needed to allow the pedal on the left to connect to the unit on the right.Just an idea to check out.

Sounded like a spring to me
