    Sounds like the brake pads are rattling in the calipers. Make sure the anti rattle springs are installed correctly and are properly shaped (not bent out of shape,) to apply pressure to the pads to prevent pad rattle. If the anti rattle springs look wacked, buy new ones.

    sounds just like mine! havent had a chance to check them yet in the rear but given that i sometimes hear a pad dragging this might be it.

    Is it safe to assume I'll probably need pads/rotors from uneven wear?

    To ensure its the brake pads, drive over a bumpy patch of road a few times. Sometimes without pressing the brake and other times without the brake. That will tell you for sure.

    Tested out right. Completely quiet if I'm fully applying brakes over bumps! Thanx

    Put this stuff on the back of your brake pads. Used it for years and years. No squeal, no rattle.

    Yes that is the anti rattle clip. I also see a gap between the clip and the caliper. The clips need to be replaced in order to fit correctly. They must press on the caliper firmly so that the pads don't rattle in the caliper.
