What Causes Brake Noise While Driving?

[MacAaliyah]

Brake noise while driving may be caused by severely worn brake pads, where the warning indicator emits a sharp abnormal sound to prompt replacement. Alternatively, it could be due to excessive wear on the brake discs or brake drums, which may also produce noise if they become too thin. Another possibility is that recently replaced brake pads may not properly fit the contact surfaces of the brake discs or drums, leading to point or line contact that generates noise. The replacement interval for brake pads is not fixed and depends on the vehicle's driving conditions, as well as the frequency and intensity of the driver's use of the brake pedal. Generally, front brake pads wear out faster than rear ones, with front brake pads lasting approximately 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers and rear brake pads lasting about 100,000 to 150,000 kilometers.
