I changed the front and rear breaks three weeks ago. The front rotors were also changed. As I left the lot I began to hear a dull kind of hissing or rasping sound before the car comes to a complete stop. I thought it was just the new breaks "breaking" in, but i have continued to hear the noise. The car breaks fine and there is no cracking sound either, what do you guys think is the problem? thank you.

New pads and rotors need various amounts of time to bed in, dependent on the rotor and pad match, but some "hissing" is normal as the surfaces mate to each other. Some "brakes" make more noise than others, but generally this should not be obnoxious. This does not sound abnormal. Are you being overly sensitive in listening to the brakes? If it is flat grabbing your attention each time you brake, then go back to the folks who did the job, by all means.

I agree you should take it back. There may be a problem with the brakes themselves or really anything around the wheel. I don't have enough information to determing but I wanted to give you another possible scenario as well.
You could be hearing some noise coming from the brake vaccum booster. That is, assuming that your vehicle has vaccum assisted (power) brakes.
It's just when you mentoned the hissing/rasping noise it made me think of this. What you describe as hissing /rasping, somebody else might describe diferently. But when I read the "hissing" part it made me thing of an air or vaccum issue.
Tell you what, you should take it back to the shop that did your brakes and let them duplicate your concern. Just know that they may tell you that it is a booster related concern.
This is only one more potential for you.Without hearing the noise I wouldn't dare try to positivly diagnose your issue.

What's the make and model.
Some cars will take a good 50-100miles of driving/braking for the brakes to break in.
If you've surpassed that, take the car back let then check it out

Take it back to the mechanic and make them fix it. It sounds as if something is loose and grinding at the rotor.

this sounds like a tire out of stability.. seem on the tires for bulges its common to verify. while in comparison with the different tires.. additionally a loose wheel. tighten all lug nuts.. ultimately with the wheel straitht seem on the wheels for alignment you need to have ran up on the decrease and bent a wheel ok gilermo

They shouldn't make any noise, take it back to the mechanic that installed the brakes.

The possibility of the breaks still breaking in cant be ruled out
It is also possible that the breaks are dirty or wet.

some breaks are noisy, you should be fine, if you feel unsafe though, go see the mechanic

Your car should be sent to a garage.
