This happened to me as well.

I had my calipers painted and thereafter, any time I fully depressed my brakes there would be a noise, and when I released, there would be a noise. After about 20 KM, it seemed to have gone away. Hopefully yours does the same as well.

But if someone knows what is causing it and why, that would be helpful lol.

For you, does the sound only happen when you fully depress the brake and release brake from rest? This is what happened to me, while braking there isn't any noises, but once I come to a complete brake, it makes a sort of "locking" sound, and then when I release, it sounds like it's "unlocking."

yeah it makes a grinding noise only when i apply the brakes then i do notice a click like sound when i let off the brake. im hoping it just some paint on the brake pad making that noise if it continues its off to midas to see what the problem is.

Mine does this. When i stop/slow i get a low clunk, and when i accelerate it 'clunks' in the other direction. Probably more suspension than brakes.

After painting calipers, the brakes do make some weird loud noises. They go away after about 50km.
