Question A Faint knocking sound when braking?

Sometimes when I brake, I get a single faint knocking noise, any idea what it could be?

I was thinking maybe just the the cold from the winter?

Thanks.

I get a knock especially when its cold. I set my mind that my mounts are giving out, not being able to handle the h22.

im thinkin its the cold weather....i have a similar sound when braking, but its coming from the front, ive checked them over completely, taken the caliper off, reassembled everything, and still just a slight sound...if it is brakes it could be the change in temperature in the brake system compared to the cold outside

i dont remember it ever happening when its warm out, but usually consistent warmer temps. smooth over all the sounds coming from vehicles...hopefully you find what yours is

I have that same knocking noise but I don't know if its just the emegency car kit in the trunk or something else in addition to it sliding around.
