Hi,
Recently I replaced new brake pads and every time I step on the brakes I hear soft-squeaking sounds more like a kettle whistling, I even had the brake disc schemed. After few weeks the whistle sounds are back permanently.
Any advice? Any good mechanic you guys can recommend to go get it checked out and fixed? The sound is getting kinda annoying....
Thanks!

I think u need to brake-in (bedding) your new pad. I went to a safe road and do 8 to 9 hard brakes until I smell my pad burning (burn smell) then I stop and let my brake rest.
(From 90km/h hard brake to 10km/h release brake immediately and repeat again for 8 to 9 times or until u smell burn... then quickly stop and let it cool to norm temp. Don't use ur brake anymore let it cool and so call "form")
Becareful on where u do this... can be v dangerous to others road user...
Above is just my way of braking in.... seem to work for me. Do a search in the net and u got even more idea...
