Sounds like a bad brake booster. You can sometimes hear a sucking sound under the dash when lightly using the brake.
When you press hard it closes off valves internally. Lightly it doesn't.
Does the engine RPM change when pressing the brake in park? If so then brake booster. _________________ Robert Adams
