Sounds as though the pads might be slightly loose in the caliper, not a problem, just annoying!

as you mention fitting new discs......just check that you've tightened the caliper bolts correctly, as we have encountered a couple of cars having noise issues that after tightening these bolts the noise has stopped!!
