I have the Ness rotor, and OEM HD caliper and pads. It buzzed even when off the brakes for the first couple of thousand kilometers (say 1500 or so of your quaint 'miles'), then gradually settled down. Still buzzes when applying the brakes, though less than before.
All that is fairly normal with drilled discs (the sharp edges on the holes gradually smooth down and buzz less), and it's worse with floating discs - they aren't vibration-damped by being solidly mounted to the wheel so can 'ring' like one of those annoying triangle things I had to play in Band because, well, let's just say I'm no Kenny G...
Another thing I've noticed is that it chatters a bit when wet, just as I come to a stop. Again, that can be a thing with floating discs.
Thes things can be improved with brake shoe changes. I'll give to EBC HH's or maybe Lyndall Golds a go at the next change.

Thats exactly what I was hoping to hear.
And I already plan on going to the EBC HHs at the next pad change if not sooner.
