A pad (20) for disc brakes comprises a plate (22) acting as the support for a friction material layer (24). The plate (22) extends past the friction material layer (24) at least at a radially outer portion (E) of the pad. At least one load (30a, 30b) is applied to the plate (22) and fixed thereto by means of clinching. This load changes the mass of at least one portion of the plate such as to obtain an inertia of the pad which substantially avoids the vibrations of the pad during the braking action which are suitable to cause noisiness of the disc brake. The load (30a, 30b) comprises at least one projection (32) suitable to be clinched to fix the load to the plate. The projection (32) is inserted within a hole (34) of the plate and clinched.
