Default Need some help. PCCB strange noise

I've noticed that there is a strange noise when I hit the brake. It only happens at a very low speed and hard to hear. It is not a "normal" squeaky noise from the PCCB. It is hard to describe but the sound is more like "a dragging sound" maybe? Sorry my English is too bad to describe it. Is there anyone with PCCB has similar noise? I went to my local dealer once, and they said it is a normal sound for PCCB (I don't trust that guy because he can barely hear it). However, I did a brake fluid flush weeks ago in a porsche indy shop and have them checked also, but they say it is normal also ??

Need some help and suggestions, these brakes are just too expensive to screw up for me.

No problems with your English. Mine have the same type sound at low speed.

Oh, thank you for the reply. It will be a good news for me if we are actually talking about the same noise. Just trying to confirm maybe with a bad analogy, does it like a paper drag on the ground?

Sorry for the more confusion.

I have the exact same noise, sounds like rubbing sandpaper. Especially after sitting overnight after a wash.
It's all normal, nothing to worry about.

As others have said, PCCB is noisy. the gritty sound at low speeds is normal and constant squealing is normal.
