Brake pads

Just had new OEM pads installed, original rotors, feels fine but
sings to me after I take my foot off the brake. Mechanic says to
give it a few days to break in. Noise comes after I take my foot
off the brake. I notice more noise when the road curves right.
Any ideas on this one???

There's a chance they could be just barely rubbing against the rotor which is really nothing to worry about. If they feel fine and the car isn't pulling to one side, I'd say listen to your tech and give a few days to do its thing. Pads and rotors do have a break in time.
