pinch off the booster hose and start the car, then apply the brakes see if it goes away. could be a leaking brake booster.

with the car off pump the brakes until they get hard
while holding the pedal down(will be high and hard) start the car
should get softer and go towards the floor a ways. all done with the booster vac line attached
