No, I am not joking...strangest thing yesterday.
I was driving down Hagley Road in Birmingham just listening to a Podcast bumbling along. I was aware of what I thought was a background noise on the recording, like a train weaving into a station with that high-pitched flange squeal. I turned off the sound and it carried on...I stopped at the lights and it stopped...oops, did not sound good. I couldn't pull over (that road is unreal), so I wound down the window and was surprised at how loud the noise was and, I guess, how much sound these cars block out with the windows closed. I figured it was a trapped stone in a brake guard or some such thing and that as I drove it would be nicely scoring a groove in the disc. Lovely stuff. Then it stopped, I suppose as the stone drooped out. I pulled over when I could and noted zero damage to any disc and no evidence of anything at all. Really strange.
Anyone else had this sort of noise?
Flange squeal...
Had it a few times; at first sign I now reverse a few feet which normally does the job.
I did have a stone damage a brake line once so it's good to have a look if the noise is present for long.
