Why are my brakes making a rumbling noise?
When you hear a growling, grinding noise when applying the brakes, it’s usually being caused by the calipers making direct contact with the brake drums or rotors – metal on metal. It typically means the drums will have to be replaced along with the brake pads.
Do new brake pads and rotors make noise?
Whenever the brake pads are replaced, the brake rotors need to be removed, measured, and machined or replaced. Similarly, if the mechanic failed to sand or remove the glaze, this can cause a very high-pitched squeak or squeal noise, especially when the brakes are cold.
What does it sound like when your brakes are going bad?
Squealing, Squeaking or Grinding Noises If you start hearing a high-pitched noise that stops when you apply the brakes that’s likely the sound of the brake pad wear indicators.

What happens if I wait too long to change my brakes?
When the brake pads deteriorate to the point where the calipers are grinding against the rotor, the calipers can be destroyed right along with the rotor. It’s not worth risking your safety by waiting to replace your brake pads, and you may end up doing more damage and paying more due to your delay.
What causes brake noise after new rotors and pads?
One of the major cause of brakes noise after new pads and rotors is having excess brake dust that is trapped between the caliper and the rotor.
