Turn up the radio?

Actually on a non-VW car I finally went with a pad 'guaranteed not to squeak' and to my surprise they did not. Are there pads for the Vanagon with such a claim?

I have head that some pads are impregnated with graphite to eliminate squeaking, even heard of someone adding their own graphite by drilling tiny hole in the pad and inserting pencil lead. Sounds pretty desperate though.
