You probably haven't driven the car since you last washed it, right? What makes the sound even louder is if you set the ebrake.

I haven't washed it, but it was out in the rain... I was checking all over hoping that it wasn't something bad. Drove fine though...

brakes were seized ever so slightly for a split second.

Happens to me all the time after a wash or rain, and on those cold mornings.

Don't worry about it.
