Default I hear noise when I apply my front disc brake

It is a slight buzzing sound. Any idea what that would be?

It's the pads vibrating. Won't hurt anything.

The slots/vents tend to make that noise when the pads are applied. No big deal.

EBC replacement pads seem to do this as they are slotted differently than the stock Nissen (Honda) pads. The noise bothered me so I replaced with stock.
