Why does my motorcycle make noise when I brake?
Brake Rub. If you have a squeak, squeal or pinging noise that occurs while you are riding at regular intervals, it is usually a caliper alignment issue or a bent rotor that is causing your brake pads to rub as you ride. Check to make sure this is the problem by lifting your wheel off the ground and giving it a spin.

What kind of sound does your car make when you brake?

What should I do if I hear a thumping noise on my brakes?
Do this three to five times, while keeping a steady speed; the noise should disappear, or at least be 90% gone. Then drive the car at normal speeds and use the brakes the way you normally would. If the noise has not changed, you may have a different thumping noise than what I have described here in this article.
Why does my car make a squeaking noise when I put on the brakes?

What causes brake noise after new rotors and pads?
One of the major cause of brakes noise after new pads and rotors is having excess brake dust that is trapped between the caliper and the rotor.
