Well Hard Times..brake noise = vibration from hard friction material and brake dust.
Ever listen to a taxi cab. Those binders are only for hard use and long life. Really soft shoes make a lot of dust but are quiet as the friction material absorbs some of the vibes. The parts guy at NAPA will ask if you want good, better or best? He means. Hard, medium, or soft friction material. So I have been told i the Bendix Brake School back in the 1960's.

Maybe woven or non-woven shoes used on the incorrect brake drum material. Steel or cast iron? One set-up is correct. One set up is not correct. Maybe that's the cause of the vibes?? Sorry I don't know which is which.
