You need to clean the contact patch on the brake pots (or pistons, whatever you want to call them.) Make sure the back of the pads are clean and free from dust as well.

That Harmonic vibration can be a bitch sometimes. LOL

If that doesnt work use some of that brake disc quiet. You spray it on the back of your pads and it kind of glues the pads to the pots.
