Default Brakes click in reverse

The other day I had my windows open while backing up and noticed that the brakes make a clicking noice when I initially apply them while in reverse.

This happens every time I'm in reverse and I apply the brakes.

The clicking is only when I first step on the brake, but it happens every time I first step on the brake in reverse.

Has anyone else noticed this? Maybe this is unique to the LS600hL (2008)? Are brakes on my LS different from brakes on LS460 / LS460L?

I have similar noise, it started doing same thing as yours then started clicking in D as well, its only in the drivers rear, i thought its a strut mount, but ended up a brake pad having some play.
Do you hear the noise when the car is just about to come to complete stop?
