I'm a little confused because your heading says front disk and the body of your note says you changed shoes. If it is noise coming from a drum/shoe setup, it could be that the shoes are not 100% seated into the drum yet. There are variations in the shoes and drums that would require the either require the shoes to be contour ground or just 'broken in' to properly match the drum's contour. If you are talking about the fromt disk brake making nois, the noise is probably just a harmonic vibration (squeaking, squealing) and will cause no harm or loss in braking performance. If the sound is bothersome to you, there are various 'anti squeak' coatings available at auto parts stores that are designed to dampen the vibration and eliminate the noise.

My 2012 model pulsar 180dtsi.battery is too low.on speedometer.light is blink,and my horn is too low sound,and when i ride my bike and press the front disc brake. on front fork some noise is coming.it

Top the battery up (if it is an liquid acid type) & or recharge it, or try another battery if you can, you may need to replace your battery, the noise that happens when using your front brake could be caused by a warped/bent disc or it could be that your brake pads are worn and the metal part of the pads are rubbing on the disc, take the disc off and place it on a mirror to check that it is not warped, also take the brake pads out and also check the caliper is not loose, give it a good service as 75% of braking should come from the front brake, if it dont work correct you might have an accident that you could avoid by having you bike serviced by somebody who knows what they are doing, Get it sorted & Ride Safe !!

No brakes

Either you master cylider went out, or your brake pads int the front are gone (you'll hear loud screeching, metal to metal) or, if this sound is not present, you may have blown a brake line next to one of the front tires, or the metal line that runs to the rear has a hole in it. This is caused by rocks hitting it while driving, or accidentally running over curbs etc.

Prices for complete repair services vary at different locations, however, to have all four brakes replaced (front and back), and have the master cylinder, brake lines checked, your looking at a couple hundred (or less) in parts and labor, depending on what needs replaced.

It's best to have a licened (certified) mechanic take a look at it for a true diagnosis.

Please, let me know if you need further assistance.

Screeching noise coming from driver side tire

The high pitch sound may come from the brake pads as metal parts hit the disc to signal the owner that it needs change. The metal parts gets exposed when the pads have worn out. The brake also has a hub to cover the disc. See if the metal plate is hitting it but this issue would appear when the wheels are in motion. Check if it is the belts, have the tension checked out. Other than that the bearings are the other items on your wheel that could cause a high pitched sound when you car is in motion.
