Default Clicking Brake Noise HELP!!!!

I have this weird clicking noise that i can hear real good when im in a drive thru at like mcdonalds. It is comming from the driverside front wheel. I can be at a dead stop and as i push the pedal down harder it clicks the more I push the pedal in. Kind of like the pad is gripping harder and bending something. sorry that is the best way I can describe it. Doesnt seem like anything is wrong with brakes though.

ok im going to do the brakes on that side. I already did the right side and it didnt have the little brake clips on it and it is fine. Never seen a car with those before either. Im thinking it maybe the shims and im putting new ones on there as well. I will see if it goes away when I do the other side. Just wanted to get some advice on what to look at before i get in there.

Default Warped caliper

I had a similiar problem from my rear caliper, and was told it was warped.

They replaced the caliper.

Sounds like a bent shim or pad cover? Pull the wheel and have a looksee.
