Default Roaring ?

Replaced rotors and pads about 5 months ago with drilled and slotted rotors with ceramic pads . Now about a month ago theres this roaring noise when I apply the brakes and it seems to be geting louder. Everything still seems fine except for the roaring. Does anyone know what this could be ?

Called Brake Motive today and they said this is common with drilled and slotted rotors. Does anyone else have the howling noise with their drilled and slotted rotors ?

Not sure what brand my drilled and slotted rotors are, but I have the same noise Had a local shop change the pads and check the rotors and noise got worse with new pads. Took it straight to a Midas and the guy checked them out and said everything looked good and there was no need to worry. The car has been stopping good with the annoying noise now for over a year.
