The car is new (Ford Focus) only 750 miles. So I dont think is because pads are worn out, is it?

Why even worry about it, return the car to the dealer now and have it checked out. It is a new car and their should not be any noises coming from the brakes.

Take it back to the dealer. Brake pads aren't usually warrantied, but at 750 miles, if they need to be replaced it is likely because of a factory defect or improper installation.
If the dealer doesn't want to warrant the work, ask for the number of the factory district rep. He is there to work out these kinds of problems.

I would definitely take it back to the dealer and have them check it out. Sometimes if a caliper gets stuck, it can wear out pads very quickly. If they try to tell you its normal wear, don't let them off the hook. I had that happen on a GM with very low miles and worn pads. A bad caliper will wipe out new pads just as quickly as the last ones. Good luck.

Focus brakes tend to be a bit noisy, and the factory set of pads on mine wore really unevenly (drivers side still had more than a 1/4 of an inch of pad, and the passenger side was almost gone).
I replaced them with some premium pads, and they quieted down. I'm waiting to see if they wear more evenly.
Since it is that new, I would definitely take it to the dealer, if they give you some crap like 'it's supposed to be like that', then ask to speak with their service manager.

Don't even ask for answers....Take it back and have the Service Dept check it out. You only have 750 miles on it and I have found Ford's Service Depts excellent. Believe me, they will treat you well.

Pad may have slipped or something got stuck between it and the rotor. Have it checked before you need resurfacing!
