What sort of brake noise is this?

I have had this brake noise for a long time. I greased them and the sound went away for a month during the summer. But the sound came back. I greased the brakes and hardware 2 days ago and it helped maybe for one or two stops, and then the noise came back. It happens everytime when I brake like normal coming up to a stop. If I am going really slow it won’t make the noise, or if I brake really hard and sudden it won’t make this noise. But under normal braking it happens almost everytime. Any ideas what it is? I don’t get it lol maybe I greased the brakes in correctly, or maybe I need new brakes and hardware? I am just trying to understand this so I can fix it. They have lots of life left, but they are still the same original oem brakes.

i never thought of it as a hiss, it doesn’t seem like a hiss in person but if it is a hiss what could be making that sort of sound?

I don't hear squeal, only a hiss while braking.

Hey, I would try applying CRC ' Disc Brake Quiet' to the back of the pads. Something relative inexpensive, and just some of your labor. Don't use the spray can type. Grab the red gel type. Good luck.
