If it does this only when your useing you breaks I would think it could be a rotor, caliper, pad, or your caliper sliders. I would pull off the calipers and then put grease inside the rubber boots between the boot and the sliders. I would also dab some grease on the caliper bolt, not treads though and put it all back together.
