Default ? about my brakes

Ok so today i go out to replace my rotors bc i have been havin a chirpin type of noise comin from them when stoppin and somtimes right after i let off and start goin it will keep chirpin

Well i get done puttin them on and go for a test drive.........Now im gettin a grindin feeling when i get on the brakes. Did i do somethin wrong or forget to do somethin?

Also the chirpin noise is still there but i can barley hear it now

So what do you guys think? this is kinda scarin me bc idk if i forgot to do somethin or if i messed up bc if i did them im scared ill F my brakes up

Did you replace the pads or just the rotors?

Could be bad bearings. (They can emit a chirping sound like brakes when they start to go and will grind when they get worse.)
