typical brake sounds come from vibration of the pad contacting the rotating disc, the use of a anti-vibration to the BACK of the break pad can help as well as ensuring the caliper slides are clean and lightly lubricated. I have also had very good luck with ceramic pads.

Disc brakes usually make a slight noise and can be caused by rust (and moisture), general road debris, or pad dust.Dealer will replaceold pads with similar pads in which case the noise is certain to re-occur.

Unless you ride your brakes constantly, I am surprised you needed your discs turned at 18k miles. I replaced my pads with Wagner Thermoquiet. They are more expensive but they do work nicely.
