I'll check this weekend, busy tommrow but its only when you press them, it doesn't do it when it rolls to me it seems like something with the pistons
How do you upload a video? I'm using my phone. The sound is very faint but can be heard

GL finding Cobra calipers. They're discontinued. Check brake fluid as well, or you may need to bleed them. I've heard that same sound on multiple customer cars (Work at Les Schwab, tire place for those that don't know) and all it was was it needed to be bled.

Idk, check the pads again, you can buy some stuff at your local autostore to apply to the back to prevent squeaking. Don't get the spray on crap it'll last a couple days at max.

I'd take it apart if it was me, pull the calipers off (12mm head),check the pins for free movement, if they're moving good, get a small screwdriver and pull back the piston boots, look inside for any rust. Using a c-clamp or similar, try to depress the pistons, they should move freely.
A Cobra swap would be nice, conversion kits are easily available from LRS or American Muscle, or a ton of other places online. I prefer real Bullitt calipers myself, the ponies look sweet on the red calipers. Really though, if you're not hard on your brakes, the stockers are fine, just go down to the parts store and get some new/rebuilt stockers.

do you still have pad life left on them? did you grease the contact points between the pads and caliper?
Try to have someone apply the brakes for you while you listen, walk around the car, listen in the engine bay ect. check to see if the ebrake engagement makes the same noise to solo out rear to front, also does it make the sound while cars off? or only while running? i would try and pinpoint the noise further so we can help.

I did pin point it, it is the Left front, wether car is off or on. I had the wheel off and you could feel it pulse, it is not the e brake or etc.. I think its what the one guy said, caliper is starting to seeze up, I greased the pins like he said and noise is still present
