Default Brake question!

Ok so, i made another thread cause i thought it was in the rear, but i dont see pitting or any metal on magnet or anything. was a metal on metal grinding sound above 20mph or when i made the car squat. someone suggested it could be a calliper pin not being greased? i would like to know more about this and the sounds/how it would act plz
here the thread:

Seized caliper bolts normally lead to uneven pad wear between the inboard and outboard pad.

but would it make that noise? its brand new pads/rotors barely any miles on them atm, so no real signs of wear yet

Metal-on-metal grinding? No.

When you say "made the car squat", are you talking about putting weight on the *** with the car parked, or weight transfer while driving?

weight transfering, it would sound like metal on metal rubbing as u drive. but if you keep it under 20mph nothing as soon as u sped up or made it squat you would hear it. the rear was rebuilt maybe 1k miles ago brand new bearings and everything. as soon as i took the rotors/brakes off and spun it i hear nothing, so its the only reason im considering this lol

Probably something suspension-related.
