Hearing noise after performing Complete front brake job, like a "whistle"
I performed a Complete front brake job on my 92' 4runner today (Rotors, Pads, Wheel Bearings, wheel seals).
The truck seems to brake just fine after bleeding the system, however I started to hear a sound which I though was the pad making contact with the rotor but it sounds like a "Whistle". It comes on and goes away if the vehicle is at a complete stop or if I brake extremely hard.
I don't know what to do, a buddy who is a Fmr. Auto tech said the ABS pump/ accumulator may need to be activated during the bleeding process.
Anyone have ideas ?

I had two Auto techs up @ the local Automotive college help perform the brake job and they did that part of the job. I know they followed All-Data's service specs. I know the flang nuts were torqued and backed off to hand tight.
