Default How loud your Bluestuff pads are?

As the title says...how loud are they?

I am on my 2nd set of EBC Bluestuff and both sets were noise free below 70mph but when i am on the high way and at speeds 80mph+, if i lets say want to slow down slowly to 50mph gently pressing the pedal, they often make some howling sound or something like that. It is not the sound like grinding or something like that. It is more like the sound that worn pads produce. It is the same thing when u want to slow down fast while going 80mph+...in both occasions that sounds doesnt last the whole time u r pressing the pedal...the sound is there only in first few seconds ( until u slow down a bit ) and then it is gone...I havent noticed any brake reduction, vibrations, juddering etc just that noise...Are you having those symptoms as well or they are noise free on higher speeds as well? I am using them on Alcon 6 pot calier...

My Bluestuff NDX's are noisier than the DS2500's that were on before. (Brembo calipers with DBA discs) At the moment at least, I prefer the Bluestuff.
