Default Need help finding noise source

I hear a rattle (more like a click) coming from the rear of the car when I go over rough spots on the road at speeds between 10mph and 35mph. I only hear it when my window is down. Here is the best clue - I can make it stop by pressing on the brake. Even very light brake pedal pressure will make it stop. It seems to be coming from the right rear wheel. I checked everthing that I could in the wheel well and everything is tight. There is a little play in the caliper but I was not sure if this is normal. The rear caliper has SBS ceramic pads if that makes a difference. Any insight would be appreciated.
