Disk brakes are inherently "self adjusting" and they are supposed to touch the rotor......EVER so lightly.

After a long run and not using them at all, they will probably still be slightly warm to the touch (rotor too). If they are HOT to the touch after NOT being used......then something is stuck or bent and needs to be serviced.

Some noises are "normal", some not. A simple flushing with water might eliminate the noise. Do NOT use high pressure and DO let them dry a few hours before riding !!
