Brakes Squeal

Mine squeaks occasionally, but my neighbor's Audi does it every single day. when backing out of their driveway,. If you're outside at the time, it's hard to ignore. I really hope the LC never develops a problem that bad.
 
Mine too. The squeal we hear results from the stick-slip phenomenon between our brand-new rotors, pads, pad size, and friction material combination. The vibrations caused by the sticking and slipping of the brake material are repeated and amplified when they reach the natural frequency of the rotors, creating that annoying squeal. It's the same concept as the sounds produced by a violin or when you rub your finger along the rim of a wine glass. Rust and water can influence the intensity of the squeal. Unfortunately, I don't think there's not much we can do about it except wait for the rotors to wear down or, if it's too annoying, consider swapping out the pads.
