I guess it sounds the most like a baseball card in a bicycle spoke (for those that did that), just pretend the baseball card is also metal lol.
Weird. I wish I had something useful to suggest, but I can't think of anything in/near the brakes that would make that noise.

I take off the waterpuump manifold to get mine on... install manifold then waterpump manifold with elbow in it because it just slides right on in the angle it'll go anyways.
Dustin - Yeah, unfortunately I missed your earlier comment. That definitely would have helped. Thanks for the suggestion (even if I missed it). It was my first time digging into the upper/lower intake manifolds. Live and learn...

I know I'm also at a loss, it's honestly something I wouldn't have noticed if my AC wasn't broken and I wasn't driving with the windows open in our parking garage. Because I FEEL nothing, but I definitely HEAR something when I apply the brakes.

Sorry Mod `Mike ~> My Bad...
I was to lazy to read the whole post

Hopefully the below will give you some insight ? ? ? ?
Clicking noises during braking is usually caused by a brake hardware or installation problem. The disc brake pads are held in place by pressure from the caliper against the brake rotor. The factory installs "anti-rattle" devices to stop movement of the brake pads, which will stop the clicking noise. These devices are made of spring steel and over time become brittle and break, allowing the brake pad to loosely ride in its seat, causing rattling.

I will hopefully figure it out, I did read a lot of people complaining that the Ebrake cable was rubbing and making a click noise too.

Saturday Morning the first thing I'm doing doing is taking all 4 wheels off the Monte, checking out the chatter and going to work on cleaning all my calipers for paint. So YEP, They will be the priority
