Not quite. Front-drive car and minivans that are built with brake pads these days, have a harder semi-metallic material. This material may cause a certain amount of brakes noise. This noise does not mean that there’s a brake problem. However , there ways to eliminate the noise.
Vibration between the brake pads, rotors and calipers cause the brake to squeal. Placing noise suppression shims, a thin self-adhesive strips, on the back of the pads, or applying noise suppression compound on the backs on the pads to moisten vibration can be done to reduce or eliminate the noise. If the noise is not better, then it might be time to resurface the rotors and replace the pads.
Some brands of semi-metallic are naturally noisier than others, because of the ingredients the manufacturers use. This may sound odd, but the cheaper pads occasionally appear quieter than the premuim quality or the original pads that came with the vehicle. It is not recommended that you go with cheaper pads. If the premium pad are installed properly, should create no noise.
