When I step on the brake I hear a clicking noise?
Rattling or clicking sounds When the brakes make a rattling or clicking noise, this is an indication that your brake pads need replacing. The rattling and clicking is caused by the vibration of loose components which damages the brake pad.
Can a bad rotor cause a clicking noise?
RAY: And if that rotor is warped, even a little bit, every time the high point in the rotor comes around, it pushes the brake pads back against the caliper. And that’s what makes the clicking sound. Aside from that annoying click, warped discs make the car brake less effectively.
What do you hear when you brake at low speeds?
Most of the time when I brake at low speeds I hear a clicking type sound, that is fairly faint. I do NOT hear squeaking, grinding or any high pitched noises that might indicate my brake pads are wearing down, or anything that sounds really bad. I also do NOT feel anything in the pedal with the clicking/tapping.
What causes brake noise after new rotors and pads?
One of the major cause of brakes noise after new pads and rotors is having excess brake dust that is trapped between the caliper and the rotor.
What makes a clicking sound when you apply the brakes?
When the brakes are applied the pad shifts resulting in the click. If you remove the pads you may detect a shiny spot on one or more of the “ears” of the pad. Assuming that is the issue, how dangerous and damaging would this be? Depending on amount of wear because of inaction? – TruthOf42 Apr 23 ’14 at 19:10
Is it normal for a car to make a noise when braking?
Some noise from the brakes is often normal, especially during the first drive of the day, after it rains, or if the car sits for an extended period of time. There are a number of other noises that a car can make only when braking at low speeds.

What causes creaking noise when braking at low speed?
At that time you will start hearing creaking noise when braking at low speed. So, if your braking pads used for a long time or been worn out, go and change them immediately. Or else, you can do harm to other braking elements or they can get damaged.
What should I do if I hear a thumping noise on my brakes?
Do this three to five times, while keeping a steady speed; the noise should disappear, or at least be 90% gone. Then drive the car at normal speeds and use the brakes the way you normally would. If the noise has not changed, you may have a different thumping noise than what I have described here in this article.
Why does my car make a noise when I change the brake pads?
When the brake pads are worn down and need replacing, this metal tab starts to drag along the rotor, warning the driver of the potential problem. Don’t ignore the noise too long; the brake pads are thin and need servicing very soon, for safety and to protect the other parts of the braking system.
