Thanks for all the advice. After a few months, which for me is about 600 miles, the noise went away. I think in the future I will try a few of these ideas, probably the sanding the disks at least. I think there is a film left from the old pads on the disk when you put the new ones on. I take the car on the track once in a while and go through 1/3 of the pads in a day (and a whole tank of gas = 6 MPG) and sometimes it is so much easier to just replace the pad rather than do a whole brake job.
