Default Strange noise when the car stands still and I press the brake

I just notice this problem today, when the car is fire up and standing still, there're some strange clicking noises if I press the brake pedal. The noise will stay for approx 2-3 secs if I keep my foot down, and it repeats if I release the pedal as well..

I couldn't tell where exactly the noise comes from but definitely near engine bay area. It's not loud though and I can only hear that when the audio is mute.

Does anyone know what's the problem it might be?

Much appreciated!

If you're getting any kickback through the pedal it sounds like the ABS pump is cycling. It would only do this though if it had been left in diagnostic mode?

Its a longshot, but in a Classic theres a black 6 pin plug (looks like an 8 pin) under the dash with some flying leads that can be used to check the ABS system. These leads should be wrapped up in blue tape, but its possible someone might have plugged them in for a diagnosis and left them there.
