i used to work in a brake shop and we would get cars in that would make noises after somebody did a home brake job. if you didn't spend some money on rotors (over 100 bucks) then the rotor might have what they call a record player effect on it. it happens when the surface is cut at the manufacturer (spelling). what happens is the pad acts like a neddle on a record and it walks up the rotor and the when it gets to the top it can't go any more so the caliper flexes and the pad slaps back down on the rotor and then works it's way up again making the noise again. i would recomend taking the rotors back if you can and getting some good quality ones. if you can't afford them then take the rotor off and take it some where to have it turned. at the brake shop i worked at we turned all low quality rotors before we put them on so that problem didn't happen when the customer left. hope this helps.
