brake noise from new rotors and pads

Hey guys, i recently purchased a set of EBC dimpled and slotted rotors and akebono pads for my tl and had them installed along with (koni yellows and h&r springs ) and now when I drive I can hear this constant clicking sound (almost like a cricket) coming from all four wheels. I hear the noise when I have the windows down and am driving near something so the sound reflects back. The clicking sound increases when I increase speed. The noise starts at about 30 km/h. The car brakes real good but the noise sucks. Any body had experience with aftermarket rotors being noisy? Is this normal? Any suggestions and help is much appreciated. Thanks

Make sure you bed-in your brakes.

clicking?

a clicking sound indicates that something is hitting against something.
maybe try getting a video of the sound?
or go back to the installer.
or try a bed in, like GP16 suggested

It might just be your backing plate touching the rotors
