noise when applying brakes coming to a stop

I hear some varying noise (low pitched), sounds like "uh-uh-uh-uh..." as I am applying brakes and car comes to a complete stop. It only happens when brakes are applied, and my brake pads are not worn, however my rotors might be getting warped (but not that bad, I had them warped much worse in the past and there was no noise). You think the noise might be coming from uneven disks? I never had the noise, pulsating brakes yes, but no noise. Wheel bearing? I figure bad wheel bearing should make noise without brakes applied.

No vibration though? I wonder if a caliper is going out.

dunno about you, but i would assume through the winter my pad material transferred unevenly. when i push the brake about 10% the car vibrates, more pressure, no vibrations. I am just gonna re-bed the pads again, which should fix it.

well, little vibration in the steering wheel (which sounds like warped rotors), but why would the noise come? could warped rotors cause noise as well?

i would get your rotors and parking brake checked out/adjusted. i get that sound a little on my rear passenger and it goes away when i apply the parking brake while im moving.
