brake ! need help

I have 05 corolla, it has 111 K. I checked the brake pads and rotors and they look fine. lately when it starts to be cold, when I push the break I hear like cliking and increase with the speed. some times it disapear then comes back. I can notice it very well at low speed. I checked today the tires presure and balance but they are ok. It is just the clicking sound nd there is no problem with hte functionality of the brake itself. Please help in estemating the reson behined this sound and what might be the possible solutions
thanks

Possibly the pad shims are loose from the pad or bent.

European Union hey

i know this mite sound stupid but i had that problem same car and year if you have hubcaps and have ties on them it could be that it could be the ties holding the hubcaps on they could be hitting off something on the inside i tuck the ties of mine and the clicking went worth a go..also check for small stones stuck in the treads of your tyres......

It sounds like your ABS. If it kicks in when the road conditions are good (not slippery) and your don't go fast, then it is likely that one of your ABS sensors is sending wrong signal to the computer. Have it checked out, because it may cause a loss in braking efficiency (which may not be noticeable at this point).

RE-brake problem

I donot really feel that the ABS try to stop the car or any thing. the brake efficiency is very good. it is just that sound when I apply the brake. it is a clicking sound similar to the sound when you drive with a flat tire but lower in volume.
