How worn are your rotors?

I've had really worn rotors make noises like that. The outer edge of the rotor gets a lip on it, often with a build up of rust scale on the on the rim, that rubs on the caliper. Other noises cover the sound as you go faster, and the frequency of the rubbing noise changes so you don't hear it.
The fix is to replace the pads and rotors. DIY, about $150-$200. An indy, about $400. A dealer about $600 or so.
But also check to see if there is anything rubbing someplace, like something is hitting the tire, wheel, etc.
