Default centric drilled and slotted rotors

Well I just purchased and installed the rotors a couple hours ago, and mainly I'm overall impressed. They look freaking awsome and the bite seems just right. One thing that's wiered is the noise it makes when I brake. I believe it is just caused by the air being pushed though the slots by the pads, but it kinda sounds like a playing card smaking bicycle spokes LOL!!! Think it's normal and its really not to loud, but anyone else hear something similar???

You haven't broken in your rotors yet. Pads haven't bedded into the rotors. It should go away.

I always noticed a bit more noise from slotted/crossdrilled when I had them but it should only be audible when there is something to reflect the noise....like driving close to a curb, wall, etc. It sounding like a light brushing sound and was always there.
