We've supplied many thousands of sets of Ferodo DS2500 across all the popular enthusiast chassis over the years. Every once in a blue moon we hear complaints about noise. Most of the time, the owner hasn't bed them in properly, which leads to squeal. Occasionally, there is some type of frequency/vibration present on that particularly car that leads to the squeal. We see this other pad brands on other cars as well. It's extremely rare, but it does happen. In those cases, the same owner puts them on another car and they are dead silent. This is why you see so many OEM pads these days with big weights hanging off of them. Those are vibration dampers.
Overall though, I'd say the noise complaints among our overall sample size are in the low single digits...something like 3-5% maybe? It's typically just not an issue with the DS2500. As others note, they are indeed the best street/autoX combo pad on the market. They have great modulation, a very high max operating temperature, easy to bed-in, and they're are also super easy on discs. It is a fantastic, versatile compound.
