What is this... And why is it making noise?

Interesting note I'll be asking the service manager soon. I'll be honest I don't know much about this car. I assumed being an engine related function it'd be controlled by the PCM. But the cruise has a separate module? Guess it's possible the computer they replaced wasn't my "no-cat PCM" but the one in question? Hmmm. Something isn't adding up here. -

To the best of my knowledge it has nothing to do with speed, or roughness of the road. After one of the members above told me it's name. I googled it a few times and found a few pages and forum posts on it. One site said to unplug it and see if it stops clunking. It was recently at a Porsche dealership getting a service, I told them that I had a "German" ECU in it and that because of this the Cruise Control didn't work. Previous owner said he had this ECU installed because the car had no Catalytic Converters. I go "Ok, sounds believable." So the dealer says, we replaced the Computer with an American one. Cruise still didn't work and that's when the noise started. A website said a bad computer can cause this... So I'm about to have a talk with a service manager. I was in Afghanistan at the time and the more I think about this dealership experience I can't help but feel like they cheated my mother (who took the car there while I was down range) just because ... Hey, it's easy to tell a woman anything about cars. :P -

Ok. So is it a "well this is bad, so that means this is probably either bad, or going bad" kinda thing? Easy fix? Found one for 30 bucks on eBay. I've never heard the term "breakers yard" so I'm assuming this is a junkyard? In which case... I'm in west virginia, that ain't happening. These aren't in junkyards. -
I guess the best question. Is it serious, and is it expensive? It's making a sort of metallic popping sound from the passenger floor board, right below the windshield. And has gotten progressively more frequent recently. Also seems the noise is connected to the brake pedal somehow, lightly tapping the brake pedal makes it happen but sometimes when driving... If I release the brake pedal to pull out, it pops like 3 times. I have no idea what that thing is, or how it works. And I'll probably either laugh hysterically at my own idiocy because it's real simple. Or cry because it's expensive and means something serious is going on. Thank you in advance.
