Default Diagnose this problem!

Hey,

I uploaded a clip to describe the sound coming from the front passenger side during braking. Brake pads are still practically new (bought this blazer before winter) and the rotors appear to be fine too.

I don't think it's the brakes, but I only notice the sound while braking. Please help me out if you can. I'm sorry for the distorting in the video!

Thanks for your time!

Sounds like the pads are sticking on rails of the caliper brackets or the sliders are sticking. I would first check to see how nice the sliders slide in the brackets and then see how clean the brackets are where the pads need to slide.
