every so often, if I don't drive my charger for a while, I get a loud metallic snap which I have found to be the disc brake pad sliding forward in its spot. Im pretty sure your set up is different than mine as I have the 4 piston brake calipers but figured I would mention it. I think when my pads were made, the metal backing plate did not have enough of the ear tab stamped out to hold it snugly in place. Usually after it does that noise once, it is quiet for the remaining time of the ride.

They make an anti rattle clip for the pads. It attaches to the outside of the caliper. That might be worth a try. I've got a rattle when I go over bumps. I'm going to try that clip too.
