Default Clinking noise @ low speeds

Well, I have read about other people having strange clinking noises at low speed, but im not sure that I have the same problem. I also noticed that around the time I started noticing this clinking noise, (kinda like 2 pennies being tapped together), my emergency brake light will randomly come on. Not sure if they are related... but im thinking maybe it has something to do with the emergency brake?

I hear the sound whenever I am at a stop and I start off into first, or if I am driving at a low speed of maybe below 20 mph and i blip the throttle, I can hear the click as I come off..

Anyone else have this problem? thanks in advance for any input.

ebrake light could be low brake fluid, caused by low pads

the rear axle click is a TSB that the dealer can solve - involves retorquing the rear bolts

cool, my brake fluid reservoir is halfway between full and empty, could that be enough to cause it to light up? I replaced my pads with axxis ultimates around 15k ago, I dont think they should need replacing yet.

unlikely then - I'd bring it to a specialist or your dealer to be looked at
