Here's the real deal, straight from Honda Service News.

Brake Click Is Normal
On any Honda vehicle, clearance between the brake caliper brackets and the ends of the brake pad backing plates can cause the pads
to hit the caliper brackets when you first apply the brakes in a new direction of travel (for example: backing up, applying the
brakes, then driving forward and applying the brakes). The clicking you hear is a normal characteristic of the brake system; the
clearance is there to allow for heat expansion and/or corrosion of the pads. But if your customer doesn't want to take your word on
that, here's how you can convince them:
Remove the pads from the caliper brackets, and shim the ends of the backing plates with a cut-up business card until you can
reinstall the
pads snugly in the brackets. Have your customer drive the vehicle, and if they cant hear any clicking, you've proven your point.
Don't worry about removing the pieces of business card; they'll get pulverized and fall out by themselves after a short time.
