Could it be a loose caliper as I had rotors and pads done 1500 kms ago?any help would be greatcar is a bf2 f6

It is an annoying noise but isn't really an issue. If your calipers have the stainless springs to hold the pad you can remove them and put a bend back in them to hold the pad still again.

Brembo's or PBR's? If PBR's your caliper slides could be worn, If brembo's your retainer pins could be bent,your pads springs may have lost tension or your pad contact pads inside the caliper could be worn/missing.
