My car has an audible click that comes from all four corners but mostly the rear during light breaking . This is most evident at low speeds. It happens in forward and reverse. I think I have isolated it to brake pad noise. And I can re-create it by jostling the pad with my finger .

I feel like this noise occurred when I first got the car with the stock pads on it. I have since put on Carbotech Low dust pads for Street driving. The noise continues but appears to be slightly louder.

It seems like a little bit loose in the housing. Is this something I should be worried about?

There is a similar noise coming from the Front pads as well but the rear is definitely louder

Should I do something to fix it ? if so how do I fix it?

Looks like you are just pushing against the mounting spring? I need to rotate my tires from the last event and will check mine.

Yes I am pushing against the spring. But when I put my foot on the brake there is a loud knock from all four corners. Maybe it’s normal, I don’t know

I just touched my brakes w/o the engine running and all four corners clicked a little. The exhaust valves cycled too. That part always seems a little strange!

I just got around to rotating my tires and checked: If I push up on the rear pad, it moves just enough to click a little. It’s just the small leeway the mounting spring allows.
But no sound while driving.
