A small trapped stone is often the case in this situation as you already know. If you don't find a stone, you may also want to look for a caliper that is not sliding properly on its slide pins. If that is indeed the case, you'll need to remove that caliper, clean the associated parts thoroughly, and use the appropriate silicone grease on those pins. Keep in mind that a little grease goes a long way....
