Advice - Brake 'click' at low speeds and in park

This just started happening today. I hear a pretty audible 'click' coming from the center dash when I press the brakes while parked. I hear it too at low speeds as well. I saw a few older posts about this - but none really shed any light on it. Earliest appmnt I could get at the dealer (ugh) is Friday - just wondering if anyone had heard a similar noise before!

I've heard that sound before in my 2013, however it seems to have stopped just as mysteriously as it started...
I'd be interested to hear what the dealer says, hopefully it's nothing serious!

I’m goint to assume you both have automatic transmissions and you’re hearing your shifter being released from its locked position when you hit the brake pedal.
It happens when you hit the brake pedal to shift into gear or back in to park.

Its always been there but it gets louder over time and you’re probably just now noticing it.
