ah yeh i see now, the disc is too thin to make contact with the pad when the pedal isnt pushed down, so nothing stopping it rattling about on the bell.

no the discs are thin cause they worn out

the noise is something different

the alloy bell move against a steel disc so after a long time of moving it wears therefore making more of a gap

new ones wouldnt make as much noise
