I've tried to find an answer for this, and the most common answer I got was that the brake pads are inferior quality and need to be replaced. I changed my brakes out over a year and a half ago with all Motorcraft parts. New rotors and pads. I haven't had a peep out of them since a few weeks ago. I took my car to work and swapped all my exhaust, and when I left work the noise had started. I never heard or felt it before.
I thought it was just snow/ice packed into my wheels since it was snowy when I went up there that day. I went and got a car wash and the noise went away. It started happening again a few days later so I went and sprayed the wheels off again. Stopped for a few days, now doing it again. Its been inside the shop at work for 4 hours one day and that should have melted any snow/ice. Its also been above 50 here for the past 2 days and its still doing it.
The noise only happens from 10 mph and down, with moderate pressure on the brake pedal. Light pressure or heavy pressure = no noise. The pedal feels a little harder and I can feel the noise coming through the pedal. I'm having a hard time narrowing down exactly what wheel its coming from, but it sounds like its the front. I've inspected the pad thickness and they are still ~6-8mm thick. I also sprayed brake clean on the pads/rotors to try to clean them off.
I don't think my pads are glazed, and I can't imagine why they were silent until I went into the shop and got noisy immediately after I left.
