I have this sound coming from my brakes, It just started a few days ago and it's bugging me like hell. When I'm driving it's a mettalic sound almost like when a brake pad is worn down all the way and metal is rubbing against the rotor. Only thing is that the rotors are a few months old and so are the hawk brake pads on it. I just checked the pads and they are nice and thick so they haven't worn down. It seems to get a little louder when I press on the brakes, but I'm not sure what it could be. If anybody has had this problem or can give me some ideas, let me know. Thanks

I'd maybe think the pads got something on them like oil and have a spot that's glazed, since you said they're practically new. Is the sound isolated to one wheel? Maybe the caliper is hanging a little, causing the brake to drag slightly more than usual? Just a couple ideas that come to mind, although that could just be the painkillers I'm taking...

Sounds to me that it's only coming from the driver side. If that caliper is hanging a little, is their a way to check it?

It would probably show signs of heat, more than the others (heat cracks, blue color), and would be worn more. IDK though, I'd pop off the wheel and take a look for myself, before speculating on what I think it is, because it leaves you to expect the worst. It could turn out to be something other than the brakes?
