Subaru: brake noise while driving

Hi

I recently bought a used 2002 legacy outback. I love it. There is
one very annoying problem however. when I am driving for an extended
period of time (more than say 20 minutes; the brakes start to squeek,
soimetimes it can get very loud...this only happens when the brakes
are NOT depressed, the second I step on the brakes the noise goes
away.

I have brought the car to the dealer twice, both times they shaved the
rotors and the problem would disappear for a while and come back.

The last time I called the dealer the shop guy told me that they are
metallic brakes and they arte always going to make noise.

Is he full of it? I have never heard a car make such noise ever...if
this is such a common occurance, why is my car the only one I hear

I think full metallic pads are silent! I believe a different compound would
cure the problem...the Ceramix pad that NAPA has is a very good ceramic pad
that I have never heard a noise from. TG
