Crackling / Clicky Brake Noise (Video)

Found a few previous posts on this which suggest the problem is pad locating pins needing a clean up but not sure if this is the same noise they mention. 
 

Had thousands of miles of trouble free use from the same pads and discs etc and never had this before. Seems to be from both sides almost alternatively in quick succession but hard to pinpoint location. 
 

Braking performance is fine and it only happens within the final few millimetres of pedal travel mainly when coming to a stop.

Bled them and briefly checked them over and all seems fine but will strip down further tmrw.

 

What do you think?

That's odd... given the car is not moving during the video, I'd not be looking the pads or disks... may be completely wrong but I've heard of the rivets that attach the pedal box assembly becoming loose?

Sounds electronic/relays clicking? As the sound source is coming from the brakes, maybe the ABS unit?

It's been reported before and I've had it in tne past. Never really got to the bottom of it.

Annoyingly they've not come back with what it was, but it does sound like what you're getting.

sounds like a creaking which the camera mic is making sound like electric clicking. 

have you checked the the pedal box to make sure that it is firmly bolted down?

 

Yeah similar noise from mine... I had gummed up caliper slides and a pedal box rivet missing... I still get a creak noise rattle noise from the clutch pedal bushing which can be silenced by pushing the brake pedal.. ??? Spraying grease into the clutch area silences it for a while..

Checked the pedal box and master cylinder for play and all good so I stripped the callipers down today. The groove down the middle of both inner pads was packed almost completely with brake dust, scraped that out cleaned everything up and they are now absolutely fine.

 

Would never have thought simply the compression of brake dust could make such a racket.   It seemed to resonate through the chassis making it hard to pinpoint and you could feel it though the pedal. Strange that this is the first time I’ve experienced it, can be pretty disconcerting so will leave the vid up to reassure others. 

Well done, that's definitely one for the memory banks!

Weird...
And of course you had previously cleaned your pad locating pins...
Not only this time....
