I'm hearing that annoying sound when you use your brakes and you get the chills from the screeching sound.
I have disk brakes and a relatively new bike.
It happens to be front tire shown below. I checked for contaminant and none exists.

my bike has not been recently serviced and there is no visible contaminant on the brakes.– user39416Commented May 16, 2019 at 21:38

4The answers to "My disc is squealing" is the same regardless - Adjust the calipers, clean the disk/pads, replace the pads with organics. Contamination is often not visible, Oil from fingers touching the disk can be enough to cause squealing.– mattnzCommented May 16, 2019 at 21:46

This is not a duplicate. The other OP took his bike in to a shop were they seemed to obviously contaminate the brakes. Not my case. This is a new bike with no contaminant.– user39416Commented May 22, 2019 at 16:33

You need to sand both the brake disk and the brake pad. The screeching sound is caused because the surfaces are too smooth.

Is this really the accepted answer ? The bike is new, who in a clear frame of mind would start sanding the disks and pads down.– Dan KCommented May 22, 2019 at 18:18
I would recommend swizzstop discbrake silencer, and sand the surface if the brake pads with fine sandpaper.

Have not tried it - a couple of reviews claim it reduces braking power. Morgan Blue Disc Brake Paste Silencer is another product could be worth a try,– mattnzCommented May 17, 2019 at 21:00
