Default Jk rear diff sound

I noticed my jeep had a clicking sound in the rear differential, opened my diff and noticed that it was coming from the brakes, has anyone experienced anything like that, i think it is coming from the drums, I don’t know if it is normal or if there is some sand or dirt that got into it, or maybe broken parts, but the sound is coming inside both rear drums

Could be a stone between the disc and outer cover or caliper etc. Could be the park brake drum, inside the disc, as well. They are notorious for jamming up and not working. Does it do the noise in reverse?

yes it makes the noise in reverse too, i feel like it brakes a little when I get the sound, I lifted the wheels and spinned them and felt the sound coming from the brakes, but the wheel doesn’t feel caught or braked
