That sounds like good advice. Why change the pads and rotors before you need to.
I expect by the time your pads wear down and the light comes on, the rotors will be ready for replacement too.

What's this noise?

I get this noise (sounds like a vacuum cleaner) when starting from cold. It goes off after about 20 seconds. No smoke and no cel.
Any ideas?

This is the best advice. Invest in really good tires and learn and practice braking and cornering technique. Once it clicks it makes a big difference.
