New Brake Pads, New Noise

I just got done replacing brake pads on all 4 wheels tonight. I did a test drive after replacing the rears and did not notice any noises. After replacing the fronts, I now have a light whirring / rubbing noise.
It changes when I brake, but doesn't completely go away. Braking seems fine. It's easiest to hear with the windows down, but of course now that I know it's there, I can hear it with the windows up too. It seems to sound the same with either the left or right window open.
Reading some posts here, I see that one possible answer is that the brakes have to bed-in first. Another possible answer is that a brake shield is touching a rotor. I can check that tomorrow. What else could it be?
Any details I can think of... I used semi-metallic brake pads from NAPA... used anti-squeal lube... rotors had good surfaces so I did not replace them or have them turned.
Any opinions would be much appreciated!
