Some brakes make more noise than others, some make more brake dust that gets on the rims than others, etc. You've likely had the brakes done at some point before now, since you have so much pad left and the car is a few years old. Did you cut corners on the pad material that time? Maybe the rotors weren't resurfaced or the pads weren't bedded very well. OEM pads should be quiet and aftermarket depends, but tend to be quiet with quality brands that aren't a race application. Race pads get kind of noisy. Backups tend to squeak a bit with any car since the rotation is reversed, but not bad, just a tiny bit every now and then. Brake inspectors know to look for glazed rotors pad shims and all that stuff, so maybe just changing the pad material will quiet things down for you.
