What sort of noise? A screeching noise? If so, it might be time to replace the pads.

Is it a very light thud or clunk when applying the brakes? If so give the calipers a good wash (when cold) to remove the brake dust. I've had the same with my front brakes. I was told by a mechanic this has developed in the majority of newer cars due to brake pad materials, and that when they try to find the cause of the noise they can never find anything mechanically wrong. I washed my brakes out and it's all gone.
Hope that helps.
