The pads or calipers may have been incorrectly installed. Take the car back to whoever did the brakes and ask them to check it.

If the sound is consistent, it could be that the backing plates behind your rotors could have been bent inwards, rubbing against the rotors. It could also be that the callipers or pads have been installed incorrectly.
If the noise appears or increases under breaking, it could be that the pads have something in the air grove.
I would suggest you get it fixed ASAP.

One of your calipers may be loose and rubbing on the inside of the wheel, a caliper bolt may have fallen out, one of the pads was installed wrong way round, your rotors may be so rough that they make noise (you did have them machined, right?) when the new pads rub against them.

If you bent a dust sheild when doing the brakes it would make that sound. If the caliper or pads were not installed quite right, or did not turn your rotors.

Maybe you put the pads in backwards!
