Brake noise, anyone have it?

Ok I been putting off asking this question because I thought it was something that could be "Normal".
For the last couple of months I have noticed this noise when I am in gear and foot on the brake like at a stop light. It is hard to describe. I brake to start slowing down then I start to here it then when I stop completely it is at it's loudest. Then I let of the brake to go and the noise changes pitch but doesn't go away. Once I am past 10 mph the engine noise drowns out the brake noise.
The only way I can describe it is like the old power stearing pumps, how they sound when low on fluid but on a much lower scale, not nearly as loud as that. In fact it's not even loud, I can just hear it and I am hard of hearing in the first place. Other than the noise, the brakes work fine, there is a little more "chatter" and squeeking than I like but I am sure that will go away when I upgrade to better pads.

But how would the pads be making noise if the truck is stopper and not rolling. It sounds like a very soft "Bad Power stearing pump" sound. Or some kind of pump sound. I just find it odd, maybe it's been there the whole time and I just don't notice it.
I am just going to go ahead and straight pipe it, that way I won't hear any more strange sounds!

how many miles on the pads you currenty have? from what i understand, most dealer pads and some aftermarket have a "whistler" (a little metal peice) that kinda scrapes the rotor and mades a whitle noise to alert the driver the pads are ready for change....

I have but loads of pad left. I only have around 8500 miles on the truck. My problem is when it's not rolling, so I cant see it being the pads. I do get a little chatter when I ease forward while braking but thats normal. The noise I am talking about sounds like some kind of pump wining.

Have you checked to see if it the ABS pump running? That is actually a little hydraulic pump but I beileve it should only work when the ABS has been activated (a skid). Did you check for codes, have any lights on the dash? Just some thoughts.
