Car Forum / Honda Cars / October 2007mid frequency brake noise
Sometimes I get a mid frequency brake noise when braking. It's not a high pitched squeal, it sounds like a french horn. Seems to happen usually at very slow speeds, when I'm braking lightly. I don't think it's rust on the pads, because this can happen even after I've been driving for a while. Anyone know what the cause is?

How old are the pads/shoes? When were the brakes last serviced? Are the pads/shoes aftermarket? What make, model, year and engine?

I'm at 80k miles. (yeah I'm a light braker, stop laughing). I probably first heard the noise around 70k miles. I had the car serviced at 70k, and the mechanic said there was ample pad left. > What make, model, year and engine? 2001 Civic LX 4dr, 1.7L 4cyl Bucky <uw_badgers@email.com> wrote in news:1193700157.212512.97130 @y27g2000pre.googlegroups.com: >> Is the noise from the front or the rear? > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > 2001 Civic LX 4dr, 1.7L 4cyl Try some harder braking once in a while. Might just be a bit of rust buildup. SignatureTegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/
