Exclamation Abnormal clicking from the Break paddle?

Anyone experiencing abnormal clicking noise/feeling from the Break paddle?
When I press down the break hard, and drive off I get this clicking noise/feeling from the paddle.

Can someone report back?

Thanks

Sounds like ABS kicking in! If that is the case, this is normal under heavy breaking on wet road or gravel!

No, I'm talking about just pressing the break.
Like when you start your car, press the break all the way down. Press the button to start. Then drive off. I hear click, and tap feeling from the paddle.

According to the manual 5-45

When the brake pedal is depressed slowly and firmly, you may hear a clicking noise and feel a slight pulsation. This is normal and indicates that the Brake Assist System is operating.

Also in section 5-49 of the manual (Self-test feature)
The ABS includes electronic sensors, electric pumps, hydraulic solenoids and a computer.
The computer has a built-in diagnostic feature that tests the system each time you start the engine and move the vehicle at a low speed in forward or reverse.
When the self-test occurs, you may hear a “clunk” noise and/or feel a pulsation in the brake pedal. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction. If the computer senses a malfunction, it switches the ABS off and illuminates the ABS warning light on the instrument panel. The brake system then operates normally, but without anti-lock assistance. If the ABS warning light illuminates during the self-test or while driving, have the vehicle checked by an INFINITI dealer.

Sounds like you have a problem with one or more of your wheel speed sensors.
