The sound you are hearing, is it different from the sound before? Like most foreign cars they use an organic brake pad. When dust builds up they tend to be noisy. If the noise becomes unbearable take it back to the dealer or who ever did the break job and have them check the pads for contamination. Sometimes you will get grease or oil on the pads. The pads absorb the oil or grease and will cause a squeaking screeching sounds that (depending on how bad the contamination is) will rattle your teeth. Hope this helps.Did you break the new brakes in?
Once new brakes are installed you're supposed to take it really easy. You'll dammage the new brakes if you do heavy braking after they're installed.
is it a screech or a squeaking..
Major difference..

Screeches are grinding rotos...squeaking isn't anything major..should stop by itself.

You may have rotor damage and make sure that the ABS system is adjusted right, Sometimes after a brake job it gets outta wack.why do some interstate signs have the State on them while others do not?
It's called having the rotors turned...

The reason they are making noises is either one or two things your brakes are too tight or because they are new brake pads it takes a day or two for them to ajust.What should I do if a neighbor hit my car and I don't have proof?
If it is squeaking, I would try taking it to a powerwash. It is possibly you have some road grit between your rotors and brakes. Sometimes that grit will cause small grooves to form on your rotors which can cause squeaking as well. In that case, your braking will not be affected, but the squeaking won't go away.You need to break in the new brakes.
You do that by accelerating and then by pressing at the brakes softly. But don't come to a complete stop. unless you have to.
Do that for about 4 to 5 times
Is it unlawful for a semi-truck to do a U-turn?
when u change the brake pads, there is a silicon paste that is supposed to be put on the mounting surface. this dampens the vibration when the brakes are applied. if the mounting clips wasnt properly secured to the calipers, it could also cause the brakes to squeal. the brake/caliper assembly shouldnt be able to be moved by hand. if the brake assembly is tight, then its almost even money to say that the shop didnt put the anti-squeal silicon to the back of the brake pads.btw, new brake pads do not require a 'break in' per sae, but fresh brake shoes will be pretty touchy for the first 50 to 100 miles.
