Brake pedal squeak

One thing that has been bugging me alongside the M sport brake squealing during stop start traffic is the bloody pedal!

It squeaks, and is very audible! Usual footwear consists of leather shoes, smart shoes and weekends it’ll be trainers. Same noise whatever are on my feet.

Here’s a short video

I am waiting to give this whole ‘brake harder’ and ‘use your brakes properly, not softly’ a go before visiting the dealer about the squeaky pedal too.

Going insane with this on a daily basis, whether it’s disc/pad squeal or pedal squeak

Bump.

Anyone had this problem? If so what was the resolution?

Booked in for the 3rd week of January but it's really winding me up if it is an easy fix!

Try lubricating the back of the pedal.

My brake pedal used to squeal too!
Just like yours after a brake fluid change the squeal went away!

Does anyone know why a car would start doing it after a brake fluid flush?

Additional information would be helpful:

- How many miles on the current brakes?
- Are pads OEM or aftermarket? If changed - how many miles ago?
- When did squeaky symptoms appear?
