I haven't yet found a procedure that gives me more than a handful of quiet stops. Mine are quiet when cold, though. The procedures that are recommended are impossible for me to do without quite a long drive, and I never think of it when I'm already somewhere I could try it. Some day.

They're only noisy at lower speeds, and sometimes I can press the brake pedal slightly more and the noise just goes away completely as long as I keep that specific pressure on the brake. Mine also don't squeak when it's cold, and I have tried to the re-bed procedure multiple times but sometimes the noise comes back after days. I guess I just need to do more 60-0s.
Thank you for your input.

You also have to regularly bed brake pads. The transfer layer goes away over time.
You should regularly inspect your brake pads & calipers anyways. You'll be fine if you swap pads but reuse the rotors. You'll have to bed the new pads obviously.

I only hear the brake rubbing noise when I'm driving straight. I have noticed that when I re-bed the noise goes away for a while, but it'll eventually come back. Should I be braking more during low speed daily situations? I tend to engine brake and maybe that causes the transfer layer to go away quicker? I also do about 20k miles per year so I am driving a lot in daily situations. Thank you for your input.
