Default Brake squeal

Just a question to find out if I'm getting "normal" brake squeal vs. abnormal.

I've got about 4800 miles on the car, chassis one-sixty-something, and no squeal when the brakes are cold. When they are warm, some annoying squeal with light application, none with moderate or more application. I've spent no time on the track, mostly street driving with occasional twisty roads when I can find them. The rotors all look fine and the pads look to have lots of life yet.

Is this more or less normal for the pads/brakes combo? Standard suspension, 15" wheels, etc.

Thx
