The sound dies down a little as the sharp edges of the holes in your disc wear more rounded-off. How much will depend on your brake-pad material. But yep, it's normal.

How long do you reckon until those sharp edges are gone? I've just bought a 10 year old Lowrider with only 1200 miles on it, and I'm getting that buzzing noise too!

It's the material the brake pads are made of. Sintered pads will do that. (I was told)
