really easy fix. what i did was take each wheel off and behind the rotors, stick like a flat head screw driver in between the rotor and dust shield and just kind of pry it off. the noise is just your rotor turning against the dust shield.

you shouldn't need new rotors that early. maybe new brake pads. its also easy to check once you take your wheels off. im going on 75k miles and still on the oem rotors.
