Default Noise after brake rotor/pad/lines install

I have noticed a whiring noise coming from my brakes now that the install is done. I installed pro stop rotors that are slotted and dimpeled. Is that that cause or is something wrong with the brakes. They seem to stop the car just fine. I just cant get over the noise it is making.

First time I ran dimpled rotors I heard a "whirring" sound.

Best I could tell, it was the sound of the pads going across the rotor face.

That is what I thought it was. I just wanted the opinions of the experts to confirm that. I guess I will just have to turn the stero up or get a cut out.

Nope, when it comes to brakes. Mitch has done far more "destructive testing" than I ever have. I've torn up a few sets of rotors and pads, Mitch has torn up almost every set of rotors and pads. I'm still in the slow lane on this one....

I always though it was:
