Default PCCB whirring noise...

I've had this checked out at the dealer and all seems to be find but it's beginning to get on my nerves.
Periodically, since buying the car 3 years ago, I'll get this whirring (wowa, wowa, wowa...) noise at low speeds that increases to a continuous groan (almost like taking your wet finger to a wine glass rim) at high speeds. It appears, as far as I can tell, to be coming from the right front. It 100% disappears with braking to then return. Sometimes with HARD braking I can get it to stop for a while.
I've checked the rotars and all look good. I noticed a name on the rear pads like Pagid p40-2 or something. Are these perhaps aftermarket pads? OEM?
The good news is that they continue to working braking wise phenomenally well. Unbelievable. Just the noise is my only complaint.
Comments from anyone, other PCCB owners...
Thanks in advance.

Tx for this but it appears to be referencing the squealing of the standard brakes.
Edgy1 - any noise from your PCCBs?

I have squealing coming from my PCCB. My dealer checked them out and claims it's normal. He said it's due to the rotors never getting hot enough under normal situations.
