Default Brake squeal on q5 after 4000 miles** video included

I posted this video in the q5 forum as well but I wanted to see if anyone else might know what the problem is. As you can hear from the video, the brakes are making a squeal that doesn't sound normal. Currently our car is in the dealer again after they failed to fix it after the first attempt.

that little noise? We should all have such issues.

Any way --
- happen going forward too?
- seems to occur at inception or release - so something's chattering/vibrating. I suspect its just the rotor surface and a chatter with the pads (which i would not concern myself about).

You might check caliper tightness. Or for anything unusual on the rotor surface.
