Brake noise problems?

I have an 06 Gallardo with only 3700 miles. I've been having all kinds of problems with noise from the rear brakes with light braking. No problem at all with hard braking. It isn't the kind of high pitched squeal that happens when the rotors and pads are glazed over. I've taken it to the dealership 4 times already. They finally tried telling me that the noise is normal. This noise is loud and sort of a moaning sound and it happens with light braking just as the car comes to a complete stop. I think it may be coming from the emergency brake. Anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions? Thanks.

They all make noise...

3 things you can do -

1) Get on the highway, do 5 consecutive 80 to 10 mph HARD braking exercises. Should solve it for ~1000 miles

2) Try EBC Green or Red pads.

3) Turn radio up.

I have EBC Red Pads F&R and my brakes still squeal like a stuck pig during light braking, esp when I am about to come to a stop. My brakes only start to squeal when the brakes are at operating temp. When they are cold they don't squeal.
Auto Talent in Los Angeles is currently doing a few things to my brakes to try and remedy the situation. They are a board sponsor here, contact Sam (the owner) and tell him Shawn from Hawaii referred you to him and maybe he can help you...

The brembo pads that were on mine when I got it squeaked like crazy. I replaced them with EBC Yellow stuff for a track event and have never took them off been using the EBC for almost a year have done 2 track events with them and they have never sqeaked once. The rear Yellow stuff (Viper front pads) do not come with the wear sensors so the sensors have to be defeated which is easy. Also the EBC pads are cheap.
