Default Super annoying buzzing sound

My 2011 dyna just started making a super annoying buzzing sound when using the front brake over 20mph as the speed gose up the loader the buzzing it sounds like it's coming from the left side of the bike around the horn. Is this normal or something I need to take it back to the deal and have looked at its going to drive me nuts if it normal Cuz my pipes don't drown out the buzzing. If it something little I can fix my self I'm morw then willing to fix it just need to know where to start anyone else have this problem thanks guys sorry for so many post

It's just the brake pads running over the cooling holes on the brake disc.

You can think whatever you want to but it's the front brake pads and the rotor. I'll guarantee it!

The horn is on the left, as is the brake rotor.
Noises are hard to diagnose with being there. I guess it's possible that the problem is something else, but all signs point to the brake.
How much meat is left on the pads?

I've rented a Sportster 1200T that did that, and my Switchback does it too. it's more or less "normal." I was told it had to do with the ABS, but the brake pads/rotor explanation seems more plausible.

I have buzzing, too. Realized both battery and electrical covers rattle, even with screws tight. Looking for a solution.

Mine has been doing that since new whenever I apply front brakes.
