What makes brakes squeak?

High frequency vibration between the rotor and the pad causes squealing. Rotor diameter, and stiffness of the disc are also factors. Metallic-Carbon pads typically produce more noise than older organic pads. Difference in pad composition, design, and stiffness of the pad can contribute to noise. Finally, environments (such as temperature and humidity) are always a factor.
