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.
Why do cheap brake pads make a growling noise?
If you travel a lot on gravel or dirt roads, rocks and bits of debris often become lodged between the pad and the rotor or drum and will make loud noises until it falls out or is removed. Cheap brake pads don’t wear normally and may form uneven pad deposits, which result in brake shudders or growling noises.

Cheap brake pads don’t wear normally and may form uneven pad deposits, which result in brake shudders or growling noises. When you hear loud growling noises, this usually means you have no brakes left and the bare metal of the brake clamp is wearing against the brake’s rotors or drums, depending on the kind of brakes in your car.
What do you do when your car’s brakes growl?
Never ignore your brakes when they growl. Newly installed brakes make high-pitched screeching or “mouse” noises as they wear in and seat themselves. Most brake replacement kits come with a brake greaser to eliminate these noises on new brakes. Install the grease on the back of the pads, not on the pad face that meets the rotor.
What causes a grinding noise when the brake pads are worn out?
Worn-out brake pads makes the backing plates to steadily lose its material, thereby causing metal touching other metal, resulting in squeaking noises. The rotor can also rub against the caliper, scraping its metal surface. If left unchecked for long, the brakes will get broken down severely. 3. Worn-out Rotor Discs

Why does my disc brake make a grinding noise?
Low pads can also make the wear sensor on many pads contact the rotor, causing a high pitched squeal. If the brake pad material is completely gone, this will cause a grinding noise. Reason 2: Dirty brakes. If the disc and drum brake systems are very dirty, this can cause noise.
