Default sandpaper sound

Hi
I have a sandpaper sound coming from my front left tire , but not a continuous sound like a vacuum leak its like a warped rotor sound . But when i hit the brakes i feel no vib. so i don't think the rotor is warped and the sound does not go away as i press on the brake . I checked to make sure there was no dust plate or lines rubbing the rotor. The rotors are 5 years old any help please

Check for embedded debris in the pads, and ensure slidability of the guidepins.

I just replaced my front rotors and pads. When I tore it down I found that not only did I have debris imbeded in one of my pads, but one of the pistons on my driver side caliper was broken in half... Food for thought.
