Default annoying pop noise

It started a few months back as a here and there type deal.
I dismissed it after doing a search and coming up with it as my brakes sticking to the rotor while not in use.

Few weeks go by and it hapens more often. I had my car checked out by an independant mechanic and a Honda dealership. Both dismissed it as not serious, nor much a problem...

Just a few hours ago, on my ride home from work (when i'm moving and use my brake), I get a pop sound coming from (I want to say) drivers side front area.
I can feel it as I brake on the petal, and its occurance is everytime I brake.
I can also hear it when driving over a bump, not as often though.

WTF is it!!??
My best guess is its weather related targeting; suspension, brake caliper, rotor or all.
Driving the S decreased due to the weather, and I have been using it for the past 2 days. A week before that I drove it for 3 days.
It only see's maybe 40 miles a day, to and from work.
Maybe 2 and a half weeks total this year, again, 40miles a day.

Could I please get a little advice thats more specific then "use the search function"?
I honestly cannot find specific information regarding such an issue here.
Most that matches were "popping" and "noise".

I would pull the wheel and check the caliber bolts, see if there tight. Check all the bolts that deal with your brakes/suspension.

Sounds like something is not tight

All I can describe is that noise coms from front left of car.
Pop sound happens during breaking.
During pop sound, I can feel a little movement in the brake petal.
What else can I tell you?

Will do.
To add to the issue, I noticed it hapens most when its really cold out.
A day ago, it was in the upper 30's and I really didn't hear anything.

I've got some time tomarro to take it apart, I hope nothing seriously wrong has happend being that i've let this go for soo long now.
