I realized this today while riding. Sounds like secadas singing in the summer months once the brakes are warm and applied. I did change my front pads approx 300 miles ago. Anyone have experience with this?

I know that they will make a buzzing noise due to the cross drilled wholes.

I just changed my pads and got the exact same sound...Sounds just like cicadas in the summer. I put the Lendal Golds on and they buzz something fierce. But I took it all apart again and see no signs that it's a problem, so put 'em back in and got used to the buzz. Since I can't put trading cards in the spokes, this'll do! My guess is, it's because the pads don't have the slots cut in them like the stockers and the holes in the rotor are making the noise.

My 9S and 12Ss both make the same sound. I really don't think it's anything to be concerned about.

Mine did the same. The noise will eventually go away.

You can eat 'em. When they first molt, they taste a bit like asparagus. Most people don't like to eat bugs though.
