Could it be the electric switch attached to the pedal that turns the brake lights on when you press the pedal? Reverse up to a shop window so you can see and press the brakes. If the lights come on at the exact point you hear the click, perhaps that's it?

Hope this helps!

Have you had the original pads replaced with non standard parts ? If so, they can sometimes be a looser fit in the calipers and click when the caliper pistons impact with the pads as you apply the brakes.
