The rotors are warped. Remove the pads and rotors and have them trued at a machine shop. Install new pads and do not use the old pads. Have the calibers inspected to see if they are sticking. Be sure and clean all the hardware and remove any debris and heavy rust particles. Use only a wire brush. Clean everything down with spray brake cleaner. ANOTHER OPINION It sounds like "Disk brake chatter". That's when the rotor is warped from excessive heat. It's common when a vehicle stops while carrying a heavy load or the brakes are used going down a long incline but the brakes typically have to get quite hot to cause warping. Also, rotors can warp when the callipers "hang", meaning that they may not be completely releasing. In either case, replacing the rotors should solve the brake chatter problem. If the brake pads are relatively new you shouldn't need to replace them. Many of the newer rotors cannot be turned but if yours can you may be able to get some more life from them.
