Noise is usaully an indication that something is wrong even minor.

Rear wheel used to squeal for first 100m after a few days sitting still, pull on handbrake and it stops, I knew it was the handbrake, also rear disk rotor were originals (~160k kms) and had a groove where footbrake pads rub.

Replaced the rotors (~$100 ea) and new handbrake shoes (~$100 set) re-adjusted and now no more noise even from the foot brake (used to squeal slightly at Maccas drive through), and also braking effort to stop car is much reduced.

Try that!
