Default Noise when braking

Hey guys, i havent had my car for too long, and the NIssan where it was indpected didn't pick up on this.


The passenger side rear wheel makes a clicking noise when i am coming to a stop and braking lightly. If i brake hard, this noise is gone. It is not like a squal, and it is not consistent. Depending on how fast i am coming to a stop, the noise is more frequent or less. It seems as though something is rubbing at a certain point on the rotor, hence the short gap between the noise. It sounds like metal rubbing....
Rear brakes are at 85% accoding to the inspection, and my visual inspection verifies that as well.Any ideas?

I thought that if something was stuck in the caliper (rock or something), the sound would be consistent without any breaks....

Thanks!

Update: The car only makes this noise when going forward. I tried going in reverse at the same speed as going forwards, and now sound...

Thanks
