That's been my experience with the occasional track toy that I've never done the street-pads-to-track-pads-back-to-street-pads swapping exercise on, anyway.

FWIW, I've also found that it's the low-energy, gentle braking events that make the most noise. Probably not enough force being applied against the pads to keep them from doing a lot of vibrating.

You're 100% right on that low-energy, gentle braking events that make the most noise. I leave to go to work at 5:15am and when its in the 30's, we have a steep driveway, these things are horrifically loud its honestly is crazy.

I still have the rotational chirp or squeak when not on the brakes. Maybe i need to take everything a part and clean everything and add brake quiet? not sure, but the pounding i gave them last weekend didn't help lol

I'll be swapping in DD pads, it only takes about an hour and it's a chance for me to clean everything since i like cleanliness. I actually used my Project Mu B-Force front pads and EBS yellows during my first track day and they actually did a super good job i was legitimately impressed.
