Default Front Brake "Buzzing"

My '07 Low Rider makes a buzzing sound when I apply the front brake.&nbsp\\; That's the best way I can describe it - anyone else experience this?

&nbsp\\;+1, It's your pads reacting to the vent holes in the rotor, pull the pads put&nbsp\\; a beveled edge on the pad, then reinstall pads, worked for me. Now I really don't notice it as much.

Yeah I think pretty much everyone gets that noise. Brake pads forcing air through the holes in the rotor, it's normal.
