If so, it's the outside pad rattling inside the pad carrier.

I had a set of PFC08's without anti rattle clips on the outboard side of the rotors, and that's exactly what it did....drove me nuts for about the week, then I got used to them.
Yes, the crickets stop with any brake pedal pressure.

I'm certain it's the front pads making the noise. They're touching the rotor when the brakes aren't being applied.

The Pagids have all the clips that the stock pads have and I did re-install the anti-rattle spring on all calipers.

Today I didn't notice the sound on my way to work until I actually arrived in the office parking lot. My commute is just less than 4 miles but maybe it's going away? I have probably 75 miles on these pads now.
