The noise is probably the disc's & pads bedding in. Should stop soon.

When you press the brake, do you get a short hiss from the passenger side? If so then that's normal, if it's continually hissing there's a problem. How does the pedal feel?
Sounds like something to do with a servo / vacuum if it's constant hissing.
If it's a scraping noise, then it would be worth cleaning the pads with a wire brush and see if it helps.
Bedding brakes in takes 15minutes after they've been fitted, not 3months +

Isn't that more of a scraping than hissing though? I assume it can only be through incorrectly bedding them in and glazing them over?

Its a hissing just when i break from say 20 to stop not when i just press breaks. Brakes feel fine and it sounds like coming from n/s/r
