Im trying to diagnose this annoying rotating sound as Ive taken it to the shop and of course they could not recreate it and said its just low pad noise. Over 600mi now and the noise is still present.

I'm in a M1 '22 Non HP. My OEM pads were relatively low. Ended up swapping them for Powerstops, broke them in correctly and rotors have plenty of life left. The only thing I can think of is failing break hardware and maybe wheel bearing.


Here's an example of the exact noise I'm hearing though not as loud:

Sounds a little like a throw out bearing but I haven't seen one chirp with the clutch engaged. Also sounds a bit like a brake sensor but you'd feel that for sure whenever the brakes were applied via warped rotor.

I would recheck the brake pad hardware if it started after the pad change.

Sure sounds like brakes, like even you said sounds like hardware or low pad. How do the rotors look? If they have a rust ridge on the edge could be that. Another thing it could definitely be I dont think you said you checked yet was the parking brake could have rust build up hitting the inside of the rotors, best of luck

I had to remove a brand new set of pads and file the edges of the backing plates to remove swarf from the manufacturing process - it was causing the pads to make the exact noise from the video you posted. That and a good application of brake caliper grease on the contact points solved my issues.
