Weird noise coming from my brakes.

I have an 05 Tc everything on it is stock and my brakes make this really weird jingling noise. Also it doesnt do it all the time its just at random points when im driving and I start hearing it. Then as randomly as it starts it ends at random times too. I dont know much about cars so I have no idea what to do especially because its hard to bring in to the dealer because when they go to test drive the car to see the noise it most likely isnt going to make it for them. Any help would be awesome.

what is your mileage? as for a jingling, are you sure your not activating your ABS by stopping hard or slipping alittle on wet roads?

it is a good idea to just take it in somewhere to have the brakes inspected. it isn't that hard, and it is very important to have you brakes working properly for you sake and for others too.

just hit 30000 miles and it happens no matter what conditions there are outside. Also it even makes the noise when im not braking and then gets louder when i do brake. Forgot to mention i got new brake pads/rotors few months ago and it made the noise before i had them put on too.

could something be loose and bumping around in your brakes?

Maybe your not clarifying the sound correctly and they just need to be replaced? Have you taken your wheel off to see if there is any pad left?

I say have them re-checked asap! Sounds like you have something loose/not screwed in tightly (maybe with a caliper part). Like draxcaliber said, having working brakes are not just for you but for others's safety as well. Follow your instinct and take your car back to your mechanic for a complete check. Keep us posted.
