Default Hawk Brake Pad Squeak?

I had my Hawk pads on for about 1000 miles and they've been perfectly quiet and in the last 100 miles or so they started to squeak when I brake. Just checking to see if it's normal for them to start to squeak over time.

Had Hawk HPS pads in my Marauder's front Wilwood 6-piston calipers and they were so loud it was embarrassing. The rears were noisy too, but not as bad. I finally gave up on the HPS and went with the Hawk ceramic pads and they've been nice and quiet since.

I think it means that both you and I got a bad set or something. Maybe it's a quality control issue at Hawk?
