The "Boing" noise is in the Anti-Lock Braking System?

Classic signs of too low a signal to noise ratio; it isn't isn't good 
enough for the controller, so it misreads/miscalculates wheel speed 
and thinks the wheel's slipping.  Two causes- improper position of 
the sensor and lots of rust buildup between the teeth.

Clean the teeth on the hub if they're badly rusted (there needs to be 
a clear difference between the gap and tooth), remove the sensor, 
install a new ablative cap, push in until it touches the hub, drive 
the car around the block.  The cap is designed to be eaten away by 
the teeth and leave the sensor positioned perfectly.  I would guess 
the sensor was accidentally bumped closer to the hub?

Hope this helps!
