Nope and it will be a while. Only thing we have done is verified it is a noise and does not affect braking capabilities, or at least any we can determine. I feel no pull, vehicle stops ok, brakes don't lock up.

Personally, I'm thinking it is a park brake groan, someone else thinks it is the disc brake pad material or caliper piston resonance, someone thinks it is normal resonance from brake operation that is not isolated as it should be, and someone else thinks it is a suspension noise and not a brake noise.

Some say turning a rotor fixes the problem, but to turn a rotor, all these items on the brake system are affected when the rotor is removed. Braking surface is affected, park brake system inside the rotor hat is affected, and caliper piston is affected. So, if removing the rotor causes a temporary fix, what in that procedure is the real fix.
