Perhaps you can try gentle braking and when your car is almost stationary... step harder on the brake and see if the popping sound still occurs. It does happen at times to my car due to the biting point of the brakes and the caliper. It's like the brake is almost holding on tight to the caliper and yet letting it slip hence that results in the popping or knocking sound and its pretty audile even with car audio on.
And this is pretty much more obvious is its after rain or car wash when the caliper is corroded. Try it out and if you are still worried then better have it checked cos brake is a crucial component hence better not risk it.
Thanks. Yes, this is what happening to me.
So is the caliper and the brakes.
Not sure how much is your repair cost.
Think have to go back Nissan or riverview to have it repair.
