Default Noise from the brake calipers on change in direction

Still learning the ins and out of my dear Scarlett.

I've noticed that when going from forward to reverse or vice versa with the brakes engaged results in a pretty loud clank from the calipers.

Is this normal? Obviously the calipers are shifting positions on the mounts. I've had cars that did this before, but not this loud.

cheers,

Mine did this until I replaced the pads and the spring clips at the end of the pads that keep them tight. The new spring clips were much stiffer than the OEM.
