Odd sound from my front brake.

Ive got a 2014 S10 with 35k miles on it, bought it at about 33k miles.
When i hit the brakes moderately to hard the front disk makes a kind of hissing sound. The harder I brake, the louder the hiss.
First suspect was pads but they've got plenty meet on them. The rotor looks fine too.
Any ideas what it could be?

I used to really notice a hissing sound from brake use on my Versys when I wasn't wearing ear plugs and they were fine. Once I got above a certain speed wind noise blocked it out.

Thanks guys. I’m sure at some point I’ll upgrade the pads to whatever the advertisers tell me are the best I can get. I’ll get back to you and see if that makes a difference.
