That's usually a sign that the front brake pads are worn. They have a wear indicator that sounds off when the brakes are released. And as soon as you step on the brake it goes away.

Those anti-rattle clips...actually shims, should have been there all along. Someone must have forgot to remove them from the old brake pads when they were changed.
