There is a twisted metal wire that fits onto the brake caliper that keeps it from rattling when you travel over bumps. Sometimes that clip gets bent and doesn't engage against the caliper properly.
Pull the wheel, grab the caliper and shack it back and forth. If the clip isn't doing it's job, you will likely hear the noise you are describing. You will need to re-bend it back into place. When it's inserted into it's holes, it should press against the caliper in two places. It takes a little work and some trial and error. I had the exact same issue and found the clip wasn't doing it's job. Took me about 20 minutes to fiddle with it, but now it's quiet. Hope this helps with your brake issue.
