Pad should be sticking to piston pulling it back off rotor. Otherwise pad is free floating and will vibrate make all sorts of noise - braking or not. Apply some more CRC red disc quiet to make sure pad sticks "good" to piston.

Incidentally, many vehicles have compression clips on back of pad which slip into piston ensuring pad travels with.

Good luck
