Brake Noise
Brake Noise I'm hearing brake noise when braking. It's not a
high pitched squeal, it sounds like a french horn.(Rubbing) Happens
at very slow speeds, when I'm braking lightly or when creaping in traffic.
I just replaced Pads and rotors about a month ago. Hawk pad and Brembo Blank rotors. Any idea what could be causing this?

I know what you are talking about my car used to do that from time to time. I don't know the cause.
Only thing I can tell you is the best pads [least noise/dust] I have put on my car is Wagner ThermaQuiets.

Hawk pads are grippy and as you approach static friction (wheels stopped), the coefficiant of friction increases. The noise you hear is the pads sticking and then unsticking. Normal for certain types of pads. Pads with less friction or different materials may not do it. (ie. Ceramics)
