Hi guys, hope you're all good

Ok, here's the scenario.... i'm on a slight slope facing downwards. I am in 'D' with my foot on the brake pedal. I lift off the brake ever so slightly and the car creeps forward (gravity + the auto creep) and there's a real bad grinding from the brakes. once my foot's fully off the brakes obviously the noise stops.

is this normal? note, this is non-omega. in my omega this grinding doesn't happen at all (cos its awesome!  ).

i'm wondering if the brakes need lubricating? had the wheels off and nothing odd. discs have plenty of material as do the pads. brakes work absolutely fine and I don't believe there's any disc warping (as there's no vibration under any sort of braking).

Anyone experience this?
