You may want to direct this to Lexus. I doubt they'll read this forum. It's something that most F Sport owners have to live with.

I had the same issue and Lexus has changed all my brake pads once. The issue occurred again so i decided to just install different brake pads that everyone here recommended. Akebono ProAct Ultra-Premium Ceramic Disc Brake Pads Have not heard a noise from my brakes since

I'm strongly considering those as my replacements when the stock F Sport pads go out.

Hi, you may also consider Performance series brake pads:
Akebono® - Performance™ Ultra-Premium Ceramic Front Brake Pads
The manufacturer claims they work even quiter than the ProAct series, and feature more advanced control of noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH).

Nice, thanks for the suggestion. It's been in the teens and single-digit temps here recently, and the brakes get REALLY loud when I've been parked outside. If anyone asks I have to tell them they're the "high performance brake pads", which I feel sounds like an excuse lol.
