I replaced the brake pads on my car a few days ago and I noticed that now when i brake lightly the brakes make a clicking sound. when i brake hard or with medium pressure they dont make the sound and if I brake very lightly they don’t make the sound either it is only when a certain pressure is applied. Does anyone have any ideas of what it could be?
EDIT: forgot to mention that it is only the rears that do it and that I replaced and it seems to make the sound once per revolution.

Go back through your work and make sure you tightened all your bolts. Loose brackets and calipers can cause noises. If you had the rotors machined, I’d wonder if whoever machined them failed to follow up with a fine cut and sand them to give the cut a nondirectional finish. If the rotors are cut too coarse, it can cause what’s called a record player effect where the grooves are trying to push the brake pads outward radially and the snapping noise is caused as the pads pull themselves back in.
