Traction Control and Braking Issues

2 potentially related questions. Is traction control supposed to make noise when it engages? I have noticed that when I am driving in snow and the wheels start to slip, I can hear a rattling noise when the traction control light comes on. I think I have noticed the headlights flickering when this happens as well.
More troubling is the braking issues I have had in snow. When I try to brake and the car detects wheel slippage, the brakes become almost ineffective. Depressing the pedal slightly meets with much resistance and a pulsing/grinding noise and feel. I don't think this the ABS kicking in as the feel is much different and I would think the brake pedal would have to be hit much harder and travel further to engage the ABS.
Any thoughts would be appreicated.
