I'm hearing that annoying sound when you use your brakes and you get the chills from the screeching sound.

I have disk brakes and a relatively new bike.

It happens to be front tire shown below. I checked for contaminant and none exists.

    The answers to "My disc is squealing" is the same regardless - Adjust the calipers, clean the disk/pads, replace the pads with organics. Contamination is often not visible, Oil from fingers touching the disk can be enough to cause squealing. – mattnz May 16 '19 at 21:46
  • This is not a duplicate. The other OP took his bike in to a shop were they seemed to obviously contaminate the brakes. Not my case. This is a new bike with no contaminant. – jon jon bon bon May 22 '19 at 16:33

I would recommend swizzstop discbrake silencer, and sand the surface if the brake pads with fine sandpaper.

    Welcome to Bicycles SE. We're looking for answers with more detail. Please consider expanding your answer to tell us a bit more about Swizzstop Discbrake Silencer. What is it? How do you use it? Why this product over others? A short, one-line answer like this is likely to get downvoted, flagged for moderator intervention, and possibly deleted. – jimchristie May 17 '19 at 12:35
  • Have not tried it - a couple of reviews claim it reduces braking power. Morgan Blue Disc Brake Paste Silencer is another product could be worth a try, – mattnz May 17 '19 at 21:00

You need to sand both the brake disk and the brake pad. The screeching sound is caused because the surfaces are too smooth.

  • Is this really the accepted answer ? The bike is new, who in a clear frame of mind would start sanding the disks and pads down. – Dan K May 22 '19 at 18:18
