Sounds exactly like a rattle I had a few years ago.
Took ages to find what it was. Sounded like the exhaust or a loose heat deflector underneath the car.
Mine turned out to be incorrectly fitted rear pads. I believe the clip that holds them in place was in the wrong position. At first inspection they seemed to be tight and correctly fitted and the noise seemed to be unaffected by braking, yet the noise completely disappeared once they were refitted correctly.
I've had similar noises when the dust/heat guard catches on the disc, but that's usually quite a speed-dependant noise. When the brake pads rattle it's more road surface dependant.
