Hydrolic disc brake Freek please help

[Mollybob]

Hi, just wondering if anyone could help me with a problem I have had with my voodoo MTB the front hydrolic disc brake when pressure is applied when riding makes a sort off popping clicking noise which you can feel bumps through the handles, I’m sure it’s coming from the calliper I have tried realigning the calliper but I can’t seem to fix it, i attached my video for reference of the sound

Hi
Sounds like the pads need a quick clean up, light sanding may sort it then bed in properly

^^^^^^^ check the disc for contamination too, if you've held the brake on after a long descent then pad material can melt onto the very hot disc.

I'd check for play in the caliper and the headset too whilst I'm at it.

I have tried lightly sanding the surface of the pads and it is still making noise

It sounds 'rotational' rather than constant so it's something moving rather than something stationary,
