The EBC yellow pads have no noticeable noise in my application. Dust about the same as the carbon mettalic I ran previously... wheels need a good wash after a track day but not too noticeable with street driving after break-in. During break-in the abrasive surface coat on the pads does make noticeable dust. They are a bit hard with first brake application on dead cold rotors and warm and bite well during the first significant stop... and hold up well with repeated stops.

I believe the EBC "red" ceramic is recommended for best cold bite and minimum dust... but not what I needed for sustained track use and higher temp performance.
