Clicking noise and perceived braking issue while coasting

Hello, Chatpeople.

Last night I went out to pick up my son at the movies. On the way there I noticed (in between songs) a very light ticking noise that seemed to be coming from beneath the steering column (the left side of the column, to be precise. While driving, I noticed that the noise stopped whenever I had my foot on the accelerator but would start up again whenever I was braking, coasting, or at a complete stop. Once I arrived at the theater(and while I was waiting for him to come out) I checked beneath the hood to see if the noise was coming from there (it wasn't). Earlier in the evening (when I drove him to the theater) I had noticed that the brakes felt different/awkward. Now, with my son in the car and as we drove home, I noticed that whenever I would let go of the gas i could feel the brakes kicking in slightly as the car was cruising (didn't feel it when I was accelerating, though). I decided, upon arriving home, to take it in this morning to see what was going on.

However, when I got in the vehicle this morning it was no longer making the ticking noise and the braking issue was also gone. I took it in anyway but, after about three hours of the vehicle, they could not duplicate what I had experienced and I picked it up. The car is less than six months old and I will be keeping my ears open but I thought I'd ask here if anyone else has experienced this issue before. Let me know. Thanks.

By the way, the ticking sound sounded very much like a relay going off and my (very uneducated nose) points to the regenerative braking system
