re: A4 brake noise and dust

Brake dust... Yup. Loads. Nothing you can do to change it unless you
want to try brake shields or aftermarket pads. Either or both can cause
the brake system warranty to be voided!

As for the noise, I never have heard any squealing. I DO drive and brake
very hard (The hang-on to your stuff variety), at least 2 to 3 times a
day.
Because so many have noises from the brakes and other do not, I had
wondered if braking style, hard or soft, makes a difference.
