Default Weird "clinking" noise..

Today, when I pulled out of my garage, I noticed my car making this "clinking" noise (I don't know exactly how to interpret the noise, but I'm trying.) The noise is specifically coming from my 4 wheels.. they tend to switch off, like the driver side wheel, then passenger wheel, then the 2 rear wheels.. I know for a fact that they're coming from the brakes since it only occurs when I brake. I'm just wondering if this is normal since i've never heard anything like this before. Do you think it's just the metal pieces of the brakes?

And also, have any of you changed your brake pads yet? Mine are starting to screech.

Thanks.

k Well, this morning when I started my car I noticed something else, and it's not the brakes. It only happens when I put it in REVERSE. As im reversing, I hear this noise as if im running over cans.. anyone else notice this? The only info I can give u is that I have an unbolted exhaust, and my instinct is that it's vibrating?? I dont know.. but it's irritating me. Do you guys think something is wrong?
