a few things come to mind..
wheel bearings
pads moving in the caliper (I had this once, pissed me off to no end and it was a clicking noise, however have no fixed that
)
Crap on the disc and pads clicking away
Do you have discs on the front?

Hey, Ive noticed when i apply the brake and start to slow down i get a clicking noise. Not sure if its coming from back or front. i was wondering if anyone knew what this meant? I was told possibly could be wheel bearings but jsut thought id ask. Thanks Blake |

Jack the car up, grab the wheel and shake it. Check for any movement. - Look to see where the movement is: - Hub - Ball joints - Tie rod ends etc If its the hub its likely to be the bearings. Its an easy enough job to change them. If it was after a day on the skid pan, my money would be on the bearings, because you are putting a lot of sideways force on them. |

probly a silly question but, do you have a brake pedal switch instead of the pressure one? could just be the switch clicking as its activated |

My car did that `clicking' during low speed braking, after changing pads and checking everything else I found one disc rotor was cracked through... 
So, I fitted a new pair. |
