Whistling noise on your Volvo V50 front or rear brakes
When a noise from whistling comes on your Volvo V50, it's often due to brake pads. This phenomenon is similar in the case where the noise comes from the rear or front brakes. Indeed, the lining of the brake pads turn out to be made of a rubber material, which offers the possibility of adhering to the disc. When the material is damaged, the disc will sometimes touch the pad. That's just what friction that creates that rustle that you can discern. If it is indeed this situation, it is important to replace the brake pads. However, it is also likely that some gravel or something else has slipped inside the plates. In this case also, a hissing sound can be heard. In this case it is useful to do control by an auto repairer if we want to see if it could be dangerous.
