I have been having a similar issue since I lowered my tC. In my case I think the coils are hitting each other. Has your a been lowered? Mine was fine prior to dropping it.

I have this same problem. I had the car since new back in 2011 and it now has 82k miles.

I took it to the dealership while still under warranty at like 15k miles and they replaced the caliper saying that the brake pad retainer clip was broken.

Today it still makes that noise, but I can't really feel any adverse affects of it, when I changed out my pads I did a full inspection and couldn't find anything out of the ordinary. So I think that we're ok, it just depends how bothered you get with the sound.
