yeah by right you are suppose to press softly and then a little harder and then softer so it don't heat up or warp your rotors and screw up you calipers, also that noise you hear is evidently normal by the sounds of what you say, you should also remember one other thing a lot of people will be out riding then pull into a car wash That's a NO NO that will warp your
calipers fast when they are hot and then water hits it ba bam,

Hopefully your brakes are quiet when you come to a stop, with no noise at all. All brake pads lightly contact the rotors as you drive. Reason is to keep the pads and rotors clean and dry. Nowadays its better to keep constant pressure on the brake petal when stopping. I learned from an instruct er to do it that way preparing for a class 2 truck license. It's been determined through testing that drums / shoes, rotors and pads do not cool enough to warrant pumping the break petal when stopping.

Your riding your brakes, but that is ok, you'll just wear them out faster, but at least your a safe driver. And yes, some cars you can hear the brakes being used. And you are correct, as long as they aren't squealing or jerking as your stopping they are ok. Generally brakes are good for about 4 years. If you don't drive to often, then they last longer.
