Rear brakes are clicking?!

I thought it was the crickets at night kinda, but I noticed it was happening when I slowed down. It's dark out right now so I'ma wait til the morning to check them out. Any help would be appreciated.

How long have you had the car and for how long has it making this noise? I have dimpled and slotted rotors and sometimes they produce what EBC calls 'Air Noise." I sometimes hear a clicking noise when I'm driving next to a concrete wall or something that reflects the noise pretty good. Something about the pockets of air that get trapped and released by the spinning rotor and pad.

you prob need pads. not sure if these cars have squealer tabs but that sounds like the noise, or rust build up on the rotors.

on your rear brakes there are compression tabs which hold down the pad when the caliper is secured, i have many times worn the pads down to the point where they were touching the rotors, check through your wheel and see if you have any point where it looks like metal to metal. i would bet thats your problem, and if you look at the pads they still have some life left to them

I've only had the car for about 6 weeks. I just bought it from a dealership in TX. Thats how i was hearing the noises, it bouncing off walls. How do i fix it?

Still have plenty of padding. Just went out there!

Mine does the same thing, the noise goes away after I wash the car, then returns two or three days later. Explain that one? It may be due to dust?

I'll probably just take it to the dealer after I mess with it some more to see whats wrong.

Yea it just rained on my way home from work and the clicking went away, but i guess came back after it dried up.

i would guess cheap pads then.

Yea I'd have to fix that if it is true!
