Should I feel Every nook and cranny in the road in the Brake Pedal???

Every time I am on the brake, light or hard, I feel a tingle, some feel back and mild vibration that "seems" accentuated by road surface imperfections but doesnt have to be. It happens mildly on super smooth asphalt and often.
It reminds me of how they used to say "run over a piece of gum and know its flavor " about suspension but as far as I know I am stock all around( I'm second owner)

So it the question begs, how many of you feel the road or have feedback via the brake pedal?
Possible root causes?
Thx.

I liken it to proprioception in the body. Feedback from movement about our joints.
By comparison I get zero feedback in the brake pedal on my wife's Ford Focus and dont recall anything like this while I had my Audi A6.

Check and see if your rotors are warped.

I had this issue with my wifes 08 Sebring Vert. I can feel your pain. I HATED that "feel". The best bet is to check to see if the rotor are warped first. I wouldn't be able to tell you "how" to do it though. It probably would be wise to take it to a dealership and have them give it the once over. It may be costly, but they will get it right.

If the rotors are warped that's what you are feeling, not the road...
