Did I hear my brake calliper pistons just go pop ?

I dont mean go bang, just a muffled pop, like you might hear if you put a cup upside down on the table.
Bike is only 8 weeks old, and has sat in the garage for 2 weeks whilst it was damp and too cold to ride.
Sunny day yesterday, got to end of the drive, braked, and I am sure I heard one of the brake calliper pistons pop into place, and again at the end of the road.
No problem with braking before or after

Did I imagine that or was it something else entirely ?

I do not think that its the brake pistons, but I have heard the noise, more a single "knock" than a pop...its seems to happen occasionally on the first firm brake from overnight rest... I think its more likely to be linked to the forks. Anyone else heard it?
