Default Brake crunch noise ?

I have this brake noise,it usually start to happen when the car reaches normal temps or mostly when i have been using it for the day,i think when brakes get hot.- Its like the caliper crunches when i apply the brakes,here i recorded and uploaded this noise,i have lost the brakes (they go to the floor) and i think its brake related (maybe abs pump) because the abs start to pulsate i think when the brake is to the floor...i already have a new master cyl ,but i haven't installed it so i have no idea if its this the cause for the loss,after i pump them 2 or 3 times,they come back but they are long traveling brakes when this happen and ....this happens when its hot as well !

You can clearly hear this sound on this video !
And im sure some of you have this problem as well !

My `87 did that type of noise in the rear. Turns out it was the ABS. It stopped making noise all by itself.

It might be from lack of use. Mine sounded like I was stepping on a box of rocks, but after I drove it for a while it stopped making noise.

BTW: The ABS unit on my car is under the carpeted door behind the passenger seat, if I am not mistaken
