I bet it is your your brake pads shifting in the calipers. I didn't have these noise until I installed PBR delux front pads. It seems they are slightly narrower than the OEM/stock pads.

Check it by backing up and stopping, then the going forward and stepping on the brake. You should get the "clunk" "tunk" etc.

I've removed the pads and they don't seem to be damaged by this slight shift.

I really like the PBR Delux pads so I just put up with it.
