Please look with good lighting into your front brakes, especially the right side, do you see small metallic flakes? Can you tell if the brake pad is worn? If it sounds like metal grinding then your brakes are gone! You can do it yourself if you have a little mechanical experience and a repair manual (available from parts store) DIY $35 Shop $ 140
P.S. If they just squeal then they could use stop squeak on the back of the pad.

I just had my rotors machined and I put new brake pads. Everything worked well, no more vibration when I brake. new noise, a creaking in the front passenger side when I brake. What is this noise?

For safety reasons please have the brakes inspected as soon as possible. Honestly there is more cause for creaking and may or may not have been there before the repairs. I am a full-time mechanic and from time to time have a customer complaint about a noise that wasn't there before the work was performed. Don't get me wrong though, you may be right. If you are then it may be bolts or nuts that was not properly torqued, a surface that wasn't properly cleaned before reassembly or human error. The technician may have missed something or for a necessary step. A faulty caliper with piston issues, a caliper mounting bracket with damaged sliders and or improperly cleaned surfaces where the shims and brake pads slide could all be suspect. The pistons, sliders and brake pads should all move and slide freely, without play. The mechanic may test drive the vehicle to confirm your complaint, inspect all the brake components located behind the wheels and report their findings. If nothing is found they will need to look elsewhere. Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is anything else. Good luck.

XL7 has a clicking scraping noise on drivers side in reverse only. Have checked brakes and they look ok. When I put on jacks with the hub off and turn by hand I can still hear the clicking grinding

Where is the noise? Front or back? At the brake or differential? Usually grinding and clicking is the rear brake drums. Brake shoes/hardware. Year, make, and model?

I have envoy brakes are realy noise

When you step on the brakes, the pads vibrate. It may be you didn't put the little gaskets, or anti-squall stuff on the BACK of the pads.
If your "kit" didn't include it, get some copper lube and apply to the back of the pads.
I know, means you have to pull the pads but it's either that or live with the noise.
Have fun:

2005 Toyota Camry Sportivo brakes making scraping sound.

Hi there,
when the noise is heard, try putting very slight pressure on the brake pedal and see if the noise goes away. If this is the case then definitely the brakes have to be removed and checked again. But if the noise is still present then it's something else doing that noise ans further investigations needs to be carried oput.
Cheers
