I’ve not had any frame-specific brake noise. The sintered pads are quite loud when wet until they heat up (friction still great) on every bike/rotor combo.
Keith @Banshee did tell me they’ve had some complaints of harmonic resonance on KS2 FS bikes combined with Dominions. I don’t think this is due to stiffness of the mount, I’ve seen this on a handful of bike/brake combos over my years in shops with PM and IS, and if you haven’t already tried any of these things, here’s my checklist:
* Proper bed-in procedure
* Swap to semi-metallic pads if running sintered-metal
* Smaller rear rotor will heat up faster
* Change rotor profile (have had results from two-piece rotors and more solid rotors.
* Super thin steel washers between caliper/adapter/frame surfaces
