Noise from wheel when releasing break

On my recently purchased 2004 4Runner V8 limited I sometimes hear a strange noise while in drive and releasing the breaks. Previous to it, I beaked normally, not too rough not too slowly. The wheels where straight. The road was clean. The car was in H4. It happens few once every 4-7 breaks and does happen tens of minutes after driving. The noise reminds me the sound of a rusted hand break pads that just release when driving a car for the first time after a while.

Is this normal ? Do you know what this can be?

:awais: There is really nobody that has an idea about this?
Just want to know if I should ignore this sound or if this as not a normal sound.
 
I wonder if what your hearing is the Zerk joints in the driveshaft? You can grease them and supposedly it help, I havent tried it.
 
One thing for sure, nobody seems to consider this a normal noise. It happens right when the weels start to turn after appying the breaks at a stop light. Will have to see my dealer but I know I will havew hard time to convince him that this is a problem, especially that this is a random noise (does not happens at every stop).
