Brakes question.. another dumb question

[TonyMastodon]

Im starting to get a little slight brake squeal at low speeds (you can hear it when you're not on the break what so ever)... but will go away if i tap it. (front breaks)

but at higher speeds (over 30), I dont hear any at all.
Is this something i need to be worried about???

Check the pads. If there's plenty of pad left I woudn't worry about it.

There was an article in Popular Mechanics about breaks squealing on cars. It has to do with the weight of the pad causing it to resonate at a high frequency.
There fix was to glue the pad to piston so the weight went up and the frequency went down to an inaudible range.

Seems like a lot of work to me. You have to use a special high temp glue.
