Should they squeak? No. on a bike if they squeak you need to lower the break pads so they are inline with your wheel, if you do this and it still squeaks you need new wheels
Can they? Yes, if they are in contact with the rotor (or drum) even when the brakes are not activated. (Does the squeaking change or worsen when you do brake?) Note that this will cause both a significant loss of fuel economy and a rapid deterioration of brake pads and rotors. Look for grit or stuck calipers, and, failing that, consider the possibility of partially activated parking brake shoes (depending on your vehicle) or wheel bearing damage. You could first try applying some graphite based lubricant to the *back* of the brake shoes (never a drop on the surfaces which contact the rotor!!)-- this is sometimes supplied with the pads by the manufacturer so the clips won't squeak against the housing.
Could be a high spot on the disc or if still rust lip on outer edge rotate disc and place flat edge of screwdriver to edge of disc this will dislodge lip clean away all waste when complete ansre assemble brake caliper (all ways use Eye protection when carrying out this job )
What else can I help you with?
Does rain cause your brakes to squeak?
No, rain does not cause brakes to squeak. Brake squeaking is typically caused by worn brake pads or a lack of lubrication on the brake components.
Why do bike brakes squeak?
Bike brakes squeak due to the friction between the brake pads and the wheel rim. This can be caused by dirt or debris on the brake pads or rim, misalignment of the brake pads, or worn brake pads.
Why do my bike brakes squeak and how can I fix it?
Bike brakes squeak due to dirt, debris, or misalignment. To fix it, clean the brake pads and rims, adjust the brake alignment, or replace worn brake pads.
Do brake indicators only make noise when applying the brakes?
They are not supposed to make noise unless abs is on. If you are talking about the squealer tabs on the pads, they will some times squeak when you are off the brake and go silent when you brake.
Why do bicycle brakes squeak and how can I fix the issue?
Bicycle brakes squeak due to dirt, debris, or misalignment. To fix the issue, clean the brake pads and rims, adjust the brake alignment, or replace worn brake pads.
Why do bike brakes squeak and how can I fix the issue?

Why do bicycle brakes squeak and how can this issue be resolved?
Bicycle brakes squeak due to a buildup of dirt, debris, or worn brake pads. To resolve this issue, clean the brake pads and rims, adjust the brake pads, or replace worn brake pads.
Why do my rear brakes squeak?
need new rear brake pads.
Why do brakes squeak when cold?
Brakes squeak when cold because the components of the brake system, such as the brake pads and rotors, are not yet warmed up and may not be making full contact. This can cause vibrations and noise when the brakes are applied, resulting in a squeaking sound.
Is it normal for brakes to squeak when wet?
Yes, it is normal for brakes to squeak when wet due to the moisture causing friction between the brake pads and rotors. This can happen temporarily until the water evaporates and the noise should go away.
Why do brakes squeak when wet and how can this issue be prevented or resolved?
Brakes squeak when wet due to the water causing friction between the brake pads and rotors. This can be prevented or resolved by applying a light pressure on the brakes while driving to dry them out, or by using specialized brake pads designed to reduce noise and improve performance in wet conditions. Regular maintenance and keeping the braking system clean can also help prevent squeaking.
Why do my brakes squeak when it rains?
When it rains, water can get on your brake pads and cause them to squeak due to reduced friction between the pads and the rotors.
