Is that why they stick ceramics on high end Porsches?

Well I just got back with the car and no squeal so far on the ceramic brakes, but I do hear a little sound I don't know how to describe by typing, maybe like a shh, shh, shh. Do new brakes make a little sound until you brake them in?

Ceramics will keep your wheels cleaner but you will often sacrifice some stopping power.
