Actually, my car just started doing this, kinda like a loud hum, and only at random times. I have no clue what is causing it, but I just replaced my pads and rotors back in June, and I have a lifetime warenty. So, if it continues, then I'm going to take the pads back and change them again...

Some semi-metallic pads can be noisy like this. What pads did you buy? You can try using "Brake Quiet" grease stuff if you didn't use any. I don't normally use it but it can help for some setups.

I think there's irony to be seen there.

"ultra quiet" brakes making noise...

Try the disc brake quiet stuff. Worth the couple bucks, perhaps, though I don't expect it to help that much.
