    Every time I've been in Korea it seems that the roads were in excellent condition, so we definitely can not blame the pavement xD

    What type of brake disc and pad did you use? OEM? If not OEM, are they drilled or slotted?
    Is the noise ever present when you are not applying the brakes? If "yes", does the noise change at all if you sway to the right or left, with no brake applied, such that the vehicle's weight is shifted to the left or right?
    Has the brake fluid been bled during any of the brake services?
    If my wife is riding next to me, she will be startled by the sound and very anxious.
    As you said, the road surface is smooth, so there is no problem at all.
    The disc is a Zimmerman product, and slots are machined for gas and heat dissipation, and holes are not made because they seem to be bad for durability.
    There is a unique noise when it reaches perfect braking, but I can clearly distinguish it.
    The first pad was a Brembo ceramic pad, but I have now changed it to a TRW COTAC pad, but the symptoms are all the same.
    It is so sad that this is happening even though all the parts used are Audi Original Equipment Supplier parts(OES).
    And check the moisture level of the brake fluid every time the season changes and replace it with a new one.
    Lastly, if the symptom persists even after resurfacing the disc and replacing the damping plate, I will probably have to use the genuine Audi parts.
    I used to buy parts locally for quicker maintenance even if it cost a little more, but now I'm looking hard for Rock Auto to reduce my expenses.
    Thank you for your answer. ;)
