I can only assume that you have fitted the brake pads without any of the anti rattle shims.
There should be a small metal shim fitted to top edge of each pad to take up the gap between the pad & the caliper, this stops the pad rising in the caliper when you touch the brake pedal.
There should also be a large metal "s" shape spring pad which fits between the top & bottom pad retaining pins. This pushes the pads home into the caliper in the direction of the hub to stop them rattling about.
