I'm considering adding a Trek Madone to the stable, but I want quiet!!! So, I'm considering rim brakes rather than discs on the new bike.
Just for clarification, the issue that bothers me is the rotor just lightly hitting the pads inside the caliper every rotation. Nothing worse than a hard effort up a hill and hearing that shrill rubbing noise every rotation of the wheel!! Braking noise itself is not my concern.
Thoughts????
Thanks,

Looking at the clearances involved with disc brake pads and rotors, I’m not sure there is a solution. Throw in very thin rotors, not insignificant heat.....
