It's a clicking noise, I initially thought that it was a bottom bracket or pedal issue but I stopped pedaling when i heard the sound and it still made that clicking sound. It initially had some "give" , I attributed it to a loose chain and that solved that problem. Now the brake response is nice. I am going to remove the rear wheel in a few hours and check it out. Thank you for the advice and questions.
