That issue isn't present with the same pads on the Baer/Alcon 4-pots on my other car.


The major difference is spring clip position. On AP the pads sit in the clip 'cradle' fore/aft. On Alcon, the pads sit free but there is a giant H-spring under the cross bolt that presses down on them.


Curious if changing to the other spring style would dampen the noise.
It's worth trying if its easy for you to do
