SRAM Code RSC brakes noisy

[Sparkomatic]

The brakes on my Giant Reign E+0 are really noisy, they use metal pads (gold backed) which I know can be noisy on initial bite but jeez these are so loud I can't bear it! I've swapped pads & cleaned rotors several times but they're always the same.

Is it just the pads causing this? I have read some reports that the Centreline rotors can cause excessive noise? If it is just the pads, what's the best compound to swap to? I use it more as a trail bike if this helps

The noise is caused by the pads not gripping the rotor. With sintered pads you often get some noise when you get everything wet but only for one or maybe 2 brake pulls. Overall it means your pads are either not properly broken in or your rotors are not being properly cleaned. So what are you using to clean the rotors??
