Brake Noise

Just wondering if anyone has had any brake noise at low speeds. It's not grinding or scraping. Its more like a harmonic howl. I thought maybe a caliper was hanging up causing the rotor to get hot. I took a Laser heat gauge to all the rotors and they are all pretty close so not thinking that's the issue. It seems to do it after I drive for a while then park and start to drive it again after about 20 minutes. And its only happens at low speeds. But everyone looks at the car when it does it. So the theory of it only being only in my head is ruled out lol. Thanks for your help.

Yeah definitely not a squeak. I don't even know how to describe it. Other than a harmonic howl..

Run the car on track and bed the brakes. That should make the harmonic howl go away. How many miles?

I have the same squeak too. It goes away when I brake really hard but it still ends up happening.
