Cross-drilled rotors, new pads = very loud? >>

Just wondering if anyone else has loud brakes. I installed Zimmerman cross-drilled rotors and (I think) PBX pads all the way around. I have some squeaking, presumably caused by the pads, which I intend to fix with copper grease or some rubber shims. However, when I apply the brakes, whether lightly or forcefully, they make a fairly loud "hum," and the volume is proportional to the speed of my car and how hard I'm braking. Is this normal for cross-drilled rotors? Should I try different pads? I never really heard my last brakes, which were stock Aero. If it's the pads, I would welcome any suggestions for low-dust brands.
Thanks
Will
