Single Click Noise- anyone else have this?

Ok, this is really weird but Im curious if any of you have this problem. I have a 2000 TL-P 68k miles. When backing out of my garage in the morning after rolling back a few feet there is a single click noise coming from the front (Im guessing from the passanger wheel area). Sometimes it doesn't click while backing out, but after I put it in drive and the car rolls forward a few feet then it makes the single click noise. Any ideas on what it could be? Is it something adjusting after the car has sat all night in one spot? I checked the suspension, cv axles, brakes everything looks to be ok but then what could cause the noise? Also... I did change the rotors with crossdrilled/slotted at 60k miles but I wouldnt think this has anything to do with it... hmm i really dont know. Is it normal? Have any of you guys exp. this on your TLs? Let me know, thanks!

Click or a pulse noise. There is supposed to be a noise in the situations you described. Its supposed to be the ABS self test

Its definetly a click noise. It does it either when I back out of the garage or after i pull forward after backing out. Just one single quick "click" and thats it no noises after that. What is the abs test? Does it make a noise similar to that which I am describing?

I think you are talking about the transmission click, it happens to me (and the majority) when i put the car in gear, and if you read the acura trans failure symptoms, that click noise is classified as normal, but is more audible when you have a wall to 'reflect' the noise (like your garage) even more with your windows down. To make sure it's nothing to do with the car being in motion, next time try and shift with your foot on the brakes and not let go for some seconds so that the car engages while stationary and wait. If you hear it without moving, then no worries but if you actually have to move for it to click then it might be more to it coz the abs test is just a hum/buzz/pulse kind of noise not a click, but it does happen a few seconds after car is in motion.
