Default Weird Brake Sound

I just got my new brake setup, its a modified teg 4 wheel disc systems
I have had it over about a week now, and I am just now starting to hear this sound. It occurs when I lightly apply the brake, once I go with more force it stops, and it also makes the same sound sometimes when I turn, (mostly right) Its a very high pitched metal on metal type sound, but its not very loud, but definatly loud enough to notice.

Pads are almost brand new, same with the rotors, anyone got any suggestions?

same thing happened to my eg when i swapped to si disc brakes in the back, haven't fixed it in about 5 months but i think it might be the proportioning valve( just a guess i think maybe there is more force on the front and it barely grabs on the back and makes kind of a slight scratching sound.

did you guys check and see if the heat shield isn't touching the discs? same thing happened with my accord, it was rubbing from the bottom.

thats what i thought too but i checked that and no its not that so then i thought maybe the disc needs to be resurfaced or the prop valve but havent done either because it works and ive gotten use to the slight noice coming from the back so maibe later.

Are your little brake pad clips there?
I'm thinking maybe one of them isn't there and it's allowing the brake pad to be loose and move around and cause brake chatter/noise..been there, done that!

goodluck.

After driving for a longer period of time, I really do not think a new prop valve will do anything. Its the front pads must be rubbing or moving when they shouldnt be. Anyone know what could be causing this?
