Sounds suspiciously like the same noise I had a month or two back.... turned out to be a knackered off side abs sensor...
Here's my tale ..... http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic10240.html Added on edit : If it is that, then the sensor ain't cheap..... £200'ish sticks in my mind.....although I try to blank it out....

Try your UJs, go underneath just after a drive and check for a hot one.
Also check them for free play (wheels chocked and handbrake off) |

Aha, that's one thing I can rule out - I don't have ABS! However, looking at your thread it does appear to be a very similar noise. Interesting! |

Rust on brake discs or hand brake drum as they have salted the roads due to cold weather?
Does touching the brakes alter the noise? Andy |

Could also be a siezed brake cylinder causing the pad to 'rattle'.
Sounds just like a CV joint breaking up. Guess how I know |
