Did you just change your pads?

Is it a pretty loud metal rattle sound? And also does it go away when you are pressing the brake pedal?

If it does, than I had the same problem. To make a long story shory, I somehow missed that I was a little low on brake fluid. I put some more fluid in there and the clunking hasn't been back since.

Hope I have helped.

My car did that. It ended up being the anti rattle clips. Sounds almost like the rotor is bouncing around?
