brake MOAN

Well, i did a search for brake moan, and the only suggestion was to apply that non-squeal sticky stuff (to remove a "squeak").. Well, I did that about 2 months ago, and I've had the moan ever SINCE. It did moan slightly before the non-squeal stuff was applied, but it's been a whole lot worse ever since.

It's not your normal mousey brake squeak... it's a MOAN.. very loud... like a tone... rear right wheel.. The pads are fairly new...maybe 5 months... I didn't turn the rotor, but i did sand on it for a while... I have since sanded on it some more thinking that may help reduce moan, as well as sanding on the pads...trying to make sure everything is all smooth and matching.. but nothing...

It's REALLY bad in the morning.. the first few stops are semi-deafening.. If i brake extra-hard, it won't moan as much, if at all, but when i do what i consider "normal" brakeing, it's pretty damn bad..

Any idea what I can do? I suppose i could try to remove the non-squeal goo...somehow...

sounds like heavy small vibrations, check to make sure everything is tight
