Clean the metal thingies and lube the backs of the pads (not the fronts that would be both dumb and interesting). That may get the noise away...it does for me.

I really like the EBC RedStuff pads. Great initial bite, no noise, I can't see any dust (anthracite wheels FTMFW), and a good heat tolerance. My only minor gripe would be that they are somewhat hard on rotors. But hey, rotors are cheap and a disposable item too. I go through 2 sets of pads and the rotors are done.
