Awful metal on metal sound

[derian06]

I've had this sound on two different occasions now, they tend to go away after driving for a bit. Its almost like I have a rock in my brake or something. But it is loud, and it makes me cringe. Everything drives fine, runs fine, stops fine. https://vimeo.com/134472163

It's really hard to assess from the video clip. It sounds diluted with some wind noise. Can you tell if the sound is coming from the front or the back?

I had a similar problem and it was a metallic chunk in the break pad it drove me nuts the sound would come and go. and sounded like metal on metal. Take a look at your pads. it may or not be the problem.
good luck.

Yeah, I can't really pull out the sound over the wind noise.

Thank you i'll have to take a look at them

It was hard to tell where the sound was coming from because I had to be driving to hear it, and it was ridiculously loud. In the video the wind noise is loud, but all the background noise is the sound. I can try and take a better video today if the problem persists

Is it at certain speeds? Might try driving next to a wall with the windows down

Check your brake pads, the tab that indicates that they are worn down is metal and will rub causing a really loud sound. Not sure when your brakes were last done

Check your choice of music, I see you just installed some amps and speakers. JK, I would agree with the pads, rubs your finger over the rotors and check for grooves, there should be none.

The rears havent been done since before I got it, and the fronts were changed about 6 months ago. I always thought you use them until you start to hear them whine.

Thanks for all the info everyone.

And the sound was gone when I drove it this morning.

Someone pointed out a while back that your calipers were missing something (I think it was a bolt). Did they get fixed?

Yes they did, 4speed set me up with a replacement bolt. That also made an awful sound.

Have you checked your rotor heat shields? I just had a similar issue. I installed new rotors and the are rubbing on the heat shields.

Thats what another person said to me, but I haven't checked them. The sound has only happened twice and for an hour or two each time. Beats me. I think when I go in for the 100,000 mile service I'll get them to check everything, see if they see anything crazy. If not I may just leave it be.
