Default Slotted rotor noise

Has anyone heard of slotted rotors making weird noise when braking. I talked to a guy who said that he put them on his car then took them off because he couldn't stand the noise. I put on some EBC slotted rotors with ceramic pads now have noise. Don't get me wrong.... the brakes work so much better than stock but just wondering if anyone else had the same issue. Brakes were re-inspected and nothing seem to be out of place. Noise sound more like a scratching sound....... not a squeal. The harder you break the louder it gets. I just might have to learn to live with it.

That's normal...Sounds more like flapping sound, especially when you check it out in a tunnel. Had slotted/dimpled and combinations of the 2 and found varying degrees of noise.

You ought to hear my motorcycle, freaked me out when I first got the bike. It's the air rushing through. I don't use them on street cars, not worth the hassle and noise and you can't turn them if needed.
