I don't understand how people are saying this is harmonic related. That doesn't make sense to me. The breaks barely move. In order to have a harmonic issue, they need to be moving in a constant fashion (e.g. spinning) causing an imbalance which creates noise at a frequency. Breaks don't move at any sort of frequency! It's not like these are on the rotor or something. Squealing breaks isn't caused by some sort of harmonic imbalance it's caused by friction. That's why break pads aren't made out of some plain ol metal as they would squeal like a mofo every time you tapped the breaks. Obviously this is a bandaid for something but a harmonic imbalance, I think not.
