Reduce brake noise in the wet?

Are there ways to reduce hydraulic disc brake noise when they get wet?
I run sintered pads, not sure it's the best option, they work in the wet but the noisy is :shock:
I find that the bigger discs seem to dry up a bit quicker and that the rear disc seems to get wetter and takes longer to dry.
I run now 180mm alligator aries discs 75g, not much metal, they dry off pretty quick and seem to help with noise.
Anything else?

Give them a damn good hard brake once in a while even if not needed!Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0

GT85 is superior for that application.
Okay some ear plugs it is.0 -
Try some other compound pads if it bothers you that much.
Not used sintered pads since they came fitted to some xt brakes I bought new.
Been using semi metallic or race matrix for quite a while now, still a little noise but not as bad.0 -
Stop braking and start crashing.
My squeal in and off in the wet. I have not found a solution yet but ebc pads do seem to squeal less.http://www.thecycleclinic.co.uk -wheel building and other stuff.0 -
I run Clarkes sintered pads in my XT and SLX brakes and they are fine in the wet.
I think my rotors are also Clarkes."Ride, crash, replace"0
