What is causing a roaring noise after you got new brake pads and rotors?

If the noise only happens during braking, a rotor probably has a very poor surface finish and needs to be resurfaced so as not to rapidly wear the brake pads. If the rotors are drilled or slotted, the noise is perfectly normal and can be ignored.
If the noise occurs while driving along and gets louder at higher speed iit may be due to damaged wheel bearings.
On some vehicles, removing a brake rotor requires removing serviceable wheel bearings. It is necessary to repack the bearings with grease and adjust the freeplay in the bearings when reassembling. Incorrect freeplay or and dirt or grit introduced into the bearings can cause this problem.
With slip-on "hat type" brake rotors, they can sometimes be fused to the wheel hub by rust. Often-times a mechanic will remove the rotor by beating it into submission with a sledge hammer. This can damage sealed bearing units.
