braking noise

When i brake, i hear a droning sound from up front and kinda feel it through the pedal.It is said to have "new" brake rotors up front and new brake pads all around. It stops fine, but the droning sounds worries me. what can this be?

What do you mean by "Droning?" Are your brake components properly lubed? You could just be hearing a low frequency squeel.

ok well its not just when i brake now its when i get to speed, say 40 mph. it also goes away when im makin a left turn, but when its pointed straight and makin a right, it starts makin a rubbing,droning sound. i dont what it is, i thought it was the ABS at one point but i tought it be a different problem.
