1) Cheap pads. Replace with quieter ones.
2) Incorrect pads or rotors, replace with correct ones.
3) You screwed it up and something is in the wrong place.
4) It only makes the noise during the first three or four stops after you start driving. Consider putting semi-metallic pads on in place of NAO/ceramic types.
5) You are talking about rear disc brakes on a car with drum-type parking brakes. One or more of the new rotors has been improperly machined during manufacturing and the drum portion rubs the backing plate. Ask a repair facility or machine shop to remove a bit of metal from the rotor at that location.
6) You had an ID-ten-T error and put one or more pads on backwards with the metal backing in contact with the rotor.
7) You decided to rotate the tires while you had the wheels off. Front and rear wheels are not the same on some vehicles.
8) Something else.

Normally a rusty rotor would not make a grinding noise. A grinding noise from the brakes usually indicated that the pads or shoes are worn down.
Just replaced front brakes and rotors should they be making a slight grinding or squealing noise at first until they wear in?
No! Something is wrong.
