Default Clanking brake caliper

Recently I had my rotors resurfaced because of warpage. The pads were good, didn’t have them replaced. Since then, my drivers side caliper makes a loud clanking noise when going over small to medium sized bumps.

I got down and checked to make sure everything was tight. All looked good. I did some pushing and pull and found I could duplicate the sound by tugging on the caliper. The sound seemed to be from the pads, like the pads were flopping around inside.

Other than an annoyance, is this a problem? Can it be silenced? Thanks

Doesn't sound right. The pads shouldn't be that loose and "flopping" around. I personally would pull it all apart and take another look.
