However, it's also key to note the card in bicycle spoke noise can also be the floating rotor hardware making noise. It happens, but if it didn't happen with the prior pad, I wouldn't expect it from just a pad change.

Just for safety, go back and check all your hardware torques and line clips and make sure something wasn't missed.
What hardware are you speaking of in particular?

The 6 pistons just have the 2 pins and the sprung retainer to remove and replace, the pads are drop in. I did use the new pins that came with the pads, I sized them versus the oem ones, and noticed no difference in the 2, so I don't think that could be the problem.
