How noisy are grooved/drilled discs?

[Nobafett]

Recently bought a 182 in amazing condition. When test driving it, I could hear quite a loud noise when braking from high speed. I assumed it was the corrosion on the inside of the front discs and was fully prepared to replace them if it didn't wear off. Well, the discs look much better but I still have the noise and after research for new disc replacements, have seen people comment on the loudness of grooved ones. So my question is, is the noise I'm hearing normal or not. (The discs are grooved and drilled)
Thanks.

You will hear a little extra noise from the grooves. The brembo max ones aren't too bad, I had some tarox grooved discs that sounded like a washing machine.
I wouldn't worry too much

You will get noise however when you replace them dont bother getting the same again as there is no benifit andblots of negatives

I put grooved ones on my BMW last year.. Made s**t loads of noise when braking, grooved normally help stop pads glazing but there's no need on road cars really. Just get some brembo hc plain discs!

Fit the right pads and they dont glaze on track either

Which is why I haven't bothered looking for grooved discs for the Clio

Cool, thanks for the feedback. The brakes 'feel' great so I guess they're fine.

98db - do a sound check before taking them out on a track. Some have decibel limits. Known a few people not allowed in for 101db grooved discs. #wastedtrip #whowouldafunkit?

I take it that's 98dB static and 101dB driveby?

 

[banther]

Yeah 101db on the reverse j-turn sound check driveby. -5db for hitting a combo.

I have Godspeed grooved discs on mine with standard pads and they make no noise at all?

I have grooved on the front and don't get any noise? are mine broke?

Both of yours are faulty, apply a layer of grease to each side, that should solve your problem

I had grooved on mine when I first bought my 182 and made a lot of noise wasn't a fan of them changed over for a non grooved set noise disappeared

I have Brembo Max grooved discs on mine . I can hear sod all difference noise wise from that of a plain disc .

I shan't be using grooved discs again. Loud as f**k, and I'm done with compromising on comfort.
