Weird brake noise

So when I press down the brake pedal I hear a creeking noise coming from only my front drivers side wheel. It sounds almost like a flexing of metal?

I replaced my pads about 3 months ago with ceramics. Had no problems until about a month ago.

Im going to put some brembo rotors in because my rotors are extremely warped...

It might be far fetched, but, I think whats going on is this: My warped rotors are actually making my caliper move causing the noise... is that possible?

yes its possible... i would think the noise is probably from improperly lubed caliper slides... they squeak a lot...

Could the caliper be loose?

Hey thanks guys for the replies!!!

I properly lubed and tightened everything....

It really sounds different from any squeeking though...

Its a deep CREEEK.

Kinda like when you are loosening a BIG bolt thats been super torqued and it makes the primary EERRKKK sound when you turn it.

Its like a deep click. I dont know. I actually get the same noise whne i TAKE MY FOOT OFF the brake pedal too!!???

I even feel a vibration noise. LIke flexing metal once again is the only way to describe it.

Thin rotors will also make unusual creaking or grinding sounds. How do they measure out?
