New rotors and semi metallic pads. Rubbing/vibratong noise when coming to complete stop and when lifting off pedal from complete stop. (lemmy.world)

Just replaced the rotors and new pads. The pads are semi metallic. I’ve noticed a brief rubbing sound when coming to a complete stop and when lifting my foot off the brake pedal from a stop. Is this normal for metallic pads?

Lug nuts are always torqued.

It’s just a sound. Don’t feel anything or notice pulling.

I’ll check the hardware again. I did re-use the shims but greased them up.

To the original question, metallic brakes aren’t just noisy? I know they’re louder than ceramic and organic.

If it's just a sound, and the brakes are performing otherwise as expected, I'd chalk it up to metallic brakes, especially if the sound were roughly uniform from all corners. I'm not there to hear it, though.

For sure. I only have discs in fro t and it sound like front and back. I’ll see if I can get a recording.
