Default Loud noise from my new cross/drilled rotors and pads.

Zup everyone! I installed cross/drilled rotors and pads on my SS. Everything seems fine but at times when I brake, I hear a annoying loud noise from my rear driver side rotor.Also I see lots of dust. Any ideas on what it could be? Thanx

First describe the noise, then the conditions under which you hear it and finally what kind of pads you installed. Did you open the lines, are the anti rattle springs in good shape, did you properly season the rotors, etc.

Noise sounds like a loud flute(sorry that's how it sounds). The noise only comes once and a while and it's when braking soft. It's only in the driver side rear and everything was done correctly because I did some panic stops and broke them in at 300 miles. Big improvement It could be the rattle spring?

Yes, sounds like you've got a slight vibration in the pad.
