Angry Brake noise

When i do a hard stop i hear a light mental scraping noise. On light stop i do not hear it.
Does anyone know what that is?

Could be pads needing to be replaced. There is a metal tab integrated into the pads for this specific reason. You should hear it during all stops tho. Maybe youre just getting to the point of contact.

I'd pull the calipers off and take a look at things. Its going to be hard for us to diagnose a noise like that remotely with no additional info about the situation.

Default Brake noise fixed!!!!!

I located the noise. It was the drivers side front wheel. I removed the caliper and pads. Clean everything and lubed the slide pins. When I disassembled the brakes, one of the guide pins was frozen. I resurfaced the pads wiped everything down, and reassembled the brake and noise fixed? THANK EVERYONE 😊 WHO RESPONDED!!!!!!!!!
