Really loud brakes..

Hi all,

Basically, when I press my brakes they dont squeak or anything, but they produce a really deep howling sound.

Iv knocked them about and removed brake dust etc, they arent worn either.

Does anybody know what this is?

Its extremly annoying!

Thanks in advance,

Sam

Not sure tbh mate..

The discs them selves are fine...all shiny lol

It only started doing it through the winter so i thought it might have been grit

Yeah most likely grit and dirt build up. Get some brake cleaner. Halfords should do it.
