Steel or ti caliper bolts? Something is allowing a vibration.
Tried both! Can’t see why one or the other would cause vibration, never did on Shimano or M4s?
Maybe try Magura range 😜

You mean you had the M4s which are identical bar the swapping of the bleed port and hose connection? Aren’t they just the same caliper internally but with a taller pad (that’s fits both)? I have M4 on one bike and E4 on the other.
Was braking a lot at low speed today with the E4s, taking my 5 and 3 year olds on a ride - the latter’s balance bike is very slow down loose rocky tracks. Basically silent and that’s with sintered pads.
Good point Onzadog!
Interesting chiefgrooveguru yes I had M4s about 7 years ago I think but if I remember rightly the levers were totally different.
No noise at all you say? The plot thickens!
You probably had the old Tech levers - my M4 date from 2012 (I think) and have the Race Evo levers. My E4 have the Tech 3 levers (tool free reach and bite point adjust), which I prefer.
Not zero noise - you can hear the pad rubbing on the disc when braking lightly but fairly close to silent. As someone who works in the audio field I’m pretty intolerant of unwanted noise!
Definitely strange, mine have no audible rub but they make a nice sort of buzz under heavy braking which I don’t mind. The high pitch squeal though, hate it and seems some people’s E4s don’t make that noise at all.
Unreasutingly Adam Brayton’s factory setup Hope brakes (V4 I think) make exactly the same noise as mine in this video.
Just can’t fathom why some are silent and some noisy unless it’s just random chance?
