Default Brake Noise

I just bought a new 900 classic, which is my first bike. When the bike is off and in neutral I hear noise coming from the front brake area when the bike rolls (when I am backing it into the garage). Is there normally this noise? Obviously the brakes aren't fully engaged because I can still push the bike, but I am concerned that the noise is from minor pressure of the pads on the rotors. If anyone has the same noise or knows if this is normal, please let me know. Thanks

Welcome to KF
Disk brakes, pads/compounds and disk. May want to bed in the pads, but does not sound detrimental.

yup.. probably dust.

my rear pads are brand spankin new, and squeal like a pig under light load and moderate speed. just dependant on how aggressive the compound is.

and welcome to KF!!
