Have you pulled a wheel and actually checked the condition of the pads?

A very light scraping noise is normal, along with an occasional light squeal. Loud screeching and hard grinding is not.

Does the sound "pulsate" at all? Can you feel anything through the pedal?

What does your rotor look like? Does it look like something has been digging a deep groove in it anywhere?

sounds like the rotors are warped , use a micrometer or something to measure the rotor, cause you can't tell with your eyes.
