Brake Noise

Asked by ZoomZoomGrl Oct 11, 2018 at 04:43 PM about the 2016 Mazda MAZDA3 i Touring

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Noticed a couple days ago that car was making a
metal on metal screeching noise. Not loud, but
noticeable. Happens when car is driving, when I
push the brakes a low pitched whine comes from
breaks. Car seems to drive perfectly normal. What
could be the cause? Does it have something to do
with my brake pads or bearings?

A lot of brake pads come with a brake pad wear indicator made onto pad it is a piece of metal that will rub against rotor causing a squealing sound when brake pads needs to be replaced.

I have the same problem. Just replaced the brakes and rotors on my 2016 hatch. Still squealing

Is noise happening all the time or just when brakes are applied ?

Yeah, so I figured it out. I replaced the front ones first, then I replaced the rear. The rear pads were loosely hitting the rotors
