Question dang brake noises

hi all, i have a 99 4x4 250, went you go to brake normal right before you stop
or slow down enough to turn the front brakes make a single pop noise and
then you don't hear it again, or at least until you go to stop again.The reason
i say when you go to stop normal is b/c i did have bad rotors and i would have to decelerate using engine compression quite a ways before i would use
the brakes so that i wouldnt warp them any more than they already were. But
i have new rotors and pads now.

since the bolts are tight?

Like I said sometimes the bond between the pad and the metal comes loose...
