Brake Noise

I know this has been mentioned a zillion times, but I'm having brake noise & I'm unsure if the 4 piston brembo pads are noisey... or if mine are needing replacement. Apologies if I seem like an amateur, this is my first sports car/ first car in years.

There's an "audible tab" on brakes to determine when they need to be changed. Mine doesn't seem to be hitting the rotors.... (pics below)

Driver's side front has the silver tabs. Passenger side front has dirty tabs...

Do I have adequate space left on these pads? Or is the sound from these tabs? (& they need replacement?)

Those can be very dirty I like to saturate my calipers and pads with wheel cleaner while I'm in there and hose them out good. It's possible there's just accumulate crud.

Right??
My pads still have solid amount of space before tab screech.

So I guess they're just dirty? & I could use some pad grease on the backs of these guys?
