Default help plz

hey ppl,
since i got my car at slow speeds or when i brake i have been hearing a faint grinding noise, kindof like when ur brakes go bad.. and a little squeaking when im driving real slow.. i went to the dealership and got my disks and pads changed for new ones cuz the car is new.. and after a week the sound is back again.. exactly the same. i thought it might be the bearing, what do u guys think?
btw i read this thing abt the s2ks' brakes abt crystalizing or something like breaking in the brake pads.. u guys think that has to do with the noise?
thanx in advance and appreciate any help.

they can make a slight grinding/rubbing sound when new, the metal squeak could be a piece of hardware. Did you turn or replace your rotors?

There is a break in period for the pads.....But they shouldnt squeak, atleast I dont think they should, I would check the dust guard(the plate behind the rotor) and also check hardware. Just a start

I have the same noise, sounds like gear noise or bearings or something in the rear...I don't know what it is, I just try not to drive slow enough to make it happen.
