In the time it took to put forth the effort to do all this complaining, you could have popped out your pads, put the backing plates on w/ lots of goo, and replaced them. Then there would be nothing to complain about. You said yourself the pads stop on a dime, they are just noisy. Defective pads don't stop on a dime...they hardly stop at all...
