Not yet!! With my C4S, they were very noisy on the road. On the GT3, the OEM pads were noisy like you describe but not terrible. I have about 160-180 track miles on the Pagids and a total of over 1,300 miles. Minimal noise so far. I had my mechanic put some of that very gooey pad stuff behind the pad plates to see if it helps. I don't know if that did the trick, if it's because the GT3 rotors are different, just luck or a matter of time before the squealing begins.
In short, if pads are well-machined, this should keep them silent:

Is one allowed there without membership or event? I've never been but am dying to go as the car should really shine there. I know Driver's Edge are hosting a DE event there Sept but I am tied up with work (again) that weekend. If there is another way, I would love to meet up and drive it. My understanding is that come next summer, it goes

Glad the 991 GT3 videos have started to pour back in. Keep them coming!
Am I the only one preferring the stock exhaust sound over the SW bypass? (Judging only from the videos). There seems to be more "song" (more frequencies) to it, in a way.
What is the point of putting the mic outside and near the exhaust? From a driver's perspective, it would be extremely difficult to drive with your ears inches away from the exhaust.

But the problem is that with windows down buffeting overwhelms any mic placed inside, so outside is the only option for consistently good sound.

I have added couple of more videos breaking in the new engine around Vancouver country sides & back roads. See link below.... I have many more videos from the past couple of weeks, and I will try to post most of them this weekend. The plan is to get the car ready for track before month end. Mark

I am re-posting this here, because I am stupid and didn't see we had a thread already started on this
Driving experience at Barber Motorsports Park @ PSDS.
Ok, I know you all know this, but that car is absolutely amazing!
It was all and more than I dreamed of!
Yeah the Turbo S was fun, but doesn't even come close to the
GT3 on the track. The power coming on at 3-4000 Rpm and
constant all the way to 9000! And yes I took it to 9000 every time.
2 places to go to second gear on the track... Turn 5 and the bottom of the corkscrew turn 9. It sounds absolutely wonderful with Sport exhaust. Plenty loud. Very loud. Not sure I really need the SW bypass now. The car had about 950 miles on it, so I let it rip!
All the same instructors plus Andrew, Sean, Doug, Alex, Rich Hull, and Eric. All very very good!! The last session was in the pouring rain and it really honed our skills.
Sometimes the rain isn't a bad thing.
The masters plus class has more time in the GT3 if you are interested.

I posted these vids in the Barber Sport thread thinking it was this one...!!
Here is a random bit of footage from my first time out in the 991 GT3 on the weekend. I took both my cars (993 RS ) but the GT3 was the most fun. I was very impressed with it. Ill try and post my fastest lap soon. The camera was new (Sony A100) and not correctly positioned a situation that has now been rectified. The mic was the built in forward facing version but much better sound than the GoPro.
Enjoy.

Thanks Macca! finally some footage with (Shuffeling) hands.
Looks like the car is on rails.
Not even using the floppy's! Its really an automatic.
Wow, I bet you can reduce using the lever or floppy's to once or twice per lap for optimal lap times.
I am getting super laze on doing heel n toe with my relic.
Only when really needed, if the corner allows for just waiting to let the clutch out I don't even bother anymore...
