Post Stock Brake pads Metal Composite

I took my 2005 RX8 in for an oil change told them about squeeling brakes, Radio static,and Rear light condensation.

They said the brakes are meant to squeal because the pads are a metal composite. (WTF supposed to squeal I'm not buying it.)

Surprise they get no static either from the radio.

And they have to see the condensation lucky it rained today hopeully it'll be there tommorrow so i can go to the dealership.

My question is about the whole brake thing is it really meant to squeak that loud. Thanks

And for the haters SORRY IF THIS IS A REPOST OF ANY KIND I dont wanna hear about it The search did not help me.

There is a service bullitan out for the squelly braks. I downloaded it and brought it into my dealer and they replaced the pads and turned the rotors for free. "4 years to supercharge" had the website! ask him.
