can find a safe place and drive at about 100km/h then press the brake hard (not slam the brake) for few times. Or, send to the workshop, remove the brake pads and use sand paper to smoothen the pads' surface. But normally should send back to the dealer and ask them to get it done cuz still under warranty.

Taking it to a dealer is probably the best option but bedding brakes based on an unknown symptom is unadvisable and possible unnecessary.

most, if not all, sports brake pads have screeching sound at one point or another....

The screeching sound is unavoidable, unfortunately... including the mazda original pads...

other than screeching sound, i dun tink there should be other sounds coming from the brakes..

That's not a problem..... Use a 300 degree C brake pad, n realize how awful it is, if you don't like the screeching sound...
