did you cut the rotor's? could be getting a noise due to rotor-runout [warped] but that would sound more like a thumping noise ....i would check your pads make sure your wear sensor is not bent and touching your rotor,make sure the shim on the outside of the pads has not come loose either .. when you install the pads it's a good idea to apply lube to the ends of the pads where the contact the caliper cradle as well as the area's where they contact the caliper less metal to metal contact, less chance of brake noise....with- out seeing the car or hearing the noise thats the best i could do .i would take the caliper off and check everything ,look for any sign's of rubbing on the rotor or on the brake pads...
