Probably warped brakes or a knackered wheel bearing. Probably needs looking at if you're at a loss.

Welcome by the way, hope you're enjoying your car get some pics up when you can in the members section

I would say if you have grooved discs that it will be pad rattle, especially if it co-incides with braking. You may be getting a bit of pad knock off - and welcome
