I started to notice mine when I installed Lyndal pads. Took me a while to figure where that new noise was coming from. But it is definately more noticable with the Lyndal pads.

If you hear a "squishing" noise when riding slow and it goes away when you apply the brakes, it is normal. You can take a carpenter pencil and scribble on both sides of the rotor and it will eliminate the noise for awhile. There is no "fix" for this issue.
