mine has done this for a year now. Obviously I dont know if its the same noise as yours, but I cant find anything wrong. Passed its MOT no probs too. It feels low down at the front, I think it might be the calipers moving around.  :undecided:

Id check your struts mate, it sounds as if they has lost pressure...

calipers can move when the brakes arent applied.
