   What kind of noise do the sensors make now?  I just replaced 7-YO pads   
   with supposedly 3mm left and never heard a thing I could recognize as a   
   warning sound.   
      
   Long ago the sound was an annoying screech, eventually superseded by the   
   grinding noise as the backing plates made deep grooves in the rotors. No   
   decrease in braking, however.  Not until the hogging-in started, anyway.   
      
   Yes, I know, but I was busy...
