It must just be the modern material in the brakes because I notice my wife's car does it too. It's not the pulsating of a warped rotor. It's a weird rumbling. I hate it.
I thought about getting slotted discs when I DO replace the pads, but even that doesn't look like it will do the trick. (drilled are obsolete according to every single "knowledgeable" brake rundown I read).

My wife's Camry did the same thing. The pads were fine and disc runout didn't seem to be the problem. I bet on the hunch it was a bedding issue. Took the car out to a back road and did threshold level 65-15 mph stops until the brakes faded just a bit. Problem solved.
