Default Air escaping from Brake Pedal

Hello, when ever I hit the brakes I here air from the brake pedal. I thought it was the little hose on the white switch but it's not. It's from the shaft that goes to the brake booster. Is this normal or is the booster bad? It brakes just fine. Anybody have this happen to your jeep?

Does it do it continuously, or just as the pedal goes down and stops?

It does it when I press the pedal. I have to press it all the way down or lift it a little to not here the air, but if I press down some at a stop you can here the air. It's anoying.

Would this cause the brake light in the dash to turn on?
