Default brake pedal noise

Does anybody else have a brake pedal that makes noises when being pressed and released. I don't notice it as much on my 99 Accord EX, but the pedal on my 02 Accord EX V6 makes a sound that almost sounds like the expanding/contracting, stretching, clicking springing sound of a mechanical pencil when putting on the brakes and then again when the pedal rises back up with the car both running and turned off. The car has new pads on the rear and almost new pads on the front, there is no vibration in the pedal or through the wheel and I just replaced and bled the fluid with genuine Honda fluid and the car still stops fairly well. Should I be concerned about this sound or is it normal? The reason I ask is because I have been noticing that the brakes on the 99 4Cyl seem to have a firmer pedal and stop the car better than the brakes on the 02 V6.Could there be a problem with the 02 or is it just because with the V6, I have about 300lbs. more car to stop than with the 4 cyl. Sorry for rambling on!
