Id this noise for me

I have a 2011 Tacoma 4x4 auto access cab, and I have noticed a single click,or clunk when I first start moving a few feet forward or reverse. Sounds like auto door lock but my doors dont lock when I hear it. I had drove a Tundra with the auto lock and the noise seems the same less the doors locking.I cant seem to find anything in the manual re auto locks, any ideas?

 

ABS...

Thanks Jive, you guys on here are great!!!

 

doesn't sound like ABS self test to me. OP, is the noise reproducible if you roll forward, stop, then put it in reverse? or vise versa? do you hear the sound each time?

 

Crom, it seems to be only 1 clunk when I first start off either forward or reverse, it also seems to be coming from left front.

 

My front brakes do that , but only the first time you change travel direction

ie back up , stop , put it in forward , go , clunk

if you stop and go again in forward , no clunk

but if you stop and put it in reverse , go , clunk

 

I have the same noise on my 09. Its literally a "clunk" and doesn't sound very good, but from several threads I read, I think its normal. Its the break pads sliding.

 

OZ described it perfectly. My truck does it too. That is indeed the front brakes. I believe it to be normal.

 

Brake pads

 

Would have to agree with everyone, if it's a clunk then brakes maybe, if its a click or "servo" type sound, i'd bet on the ABS....espaecially since you said left front
