Hello there. In most cases when you hear a repeating clicking sound as you brake, it is likely coming from one of three sources. First, it could be a wheel bearing that is wearing out. Second, it might be a warped brake rotor or a sign that brake pads are wearing out and need to be replaced. It would be a good idea to have a professional mechanic come to your location and complete a car is making a noise inspection to determine where the noise is coming from and recommend the right repairs.
