Default Braking noise????

This just started about a week or so ago. I noticed when I press the brakes it sounds like a baseball card in a spoke wheel of a bike. Only does it when i'm braking though. Sounds like its coming from the rear but not sure. Any ideas?

Might be it's time to replace new pads. You can check to see if there's any life left on your pads. Might be the metal part that rub your rotors and that's telling you your pads has been all used up.

They are cross drilled and slotted. I had some on the car before but they didn't make any noise. I forget what type of pads but they are common. Everything was put back just as before.
