Regarding brake pads dragging, I can't recall any particular issues with my 2017 EX, but I have two new (2017) Harley touring bikes, and both of them demonstrated significant friction between pads and rotors until I had a couple of thousand miles on them. I could feel the difference rolling them out of the garage.
I only have about 1800 miles on my EX, but it's very quiet and smooth so far as the brakes and valve noise. I wear earplugs all the time when I ride, so if there's a tiny bit of noise, I would not hear it anyway. Doubt there's anything wrong with your bike!
