How are you driving the car, like a little old lady or like a racer? I have 1200+ on my '04 and havn't had any noise, but I am driving it aggressively most of the time

not too aggressive..... Have fun with it every now and then, but not harsh at all..... (Can't afford the gas, so gotta take it easy!)

Try to notice if it's always after it rains. The rotors rust after it rains, you may even notice the parking break stick if you have it on when it's raining or you wash your car.
