Default Clicking noise from inside car

Recently bought a RX 330 and I've noticed a clicking or ticking noise when I apply the brakes suddenly. Sounds almost like a pendulum is making a sound inside the car. Strange. Only makes the sound when I slow down or make a sudden turn.

I've noticed the same, but have no idea what it is. It sounds like it is coming from the driver's side somewhere under the dashboard, or near the firewall. I've had my 2009 Rx350 for about 6 months now (first Lexus) and I hear it occasionally, usually at slow speeds.

Still no clue as to where or why the clicking noise comes from. Only hear it when I slow down quickly or brake hard. It sounds like a marble striking a hard service only when I slow down.

Checking the brake pads & rotors may be a good start, any pulsating when applying the brakes?
