I've encountered the issue of noise when stepping on the brakes several times. Generally, there are quite a few reasons for this. For instance, if the brake pads are significantly worn, they tend to produce a sharp screeching sound. Or, if the brake disc surface is uneven with small pits or scratches, stepping on the brakes can cause a rattling noise. Additionally, driving on rainy days or after rain can lead to rust in the brake system, especially when water stains or salt get stuck between the disc and pads, resulting in a squeaky sound when braking. This is even more noticeable in winter, as the cold causes metal to contract, amplifying the noise. Once, I ignored this issue, and the brakes started to respond with a delay, which really startled me. I immediately went to the repair shop for a check-up, and after replacing the pads, the noise was gone. Remember, regular maintenance of the brake system is crucial—like checking the thickness annually—which can significantly reduce risks. Don't wait until an accident happens to regret it.
