Chris,  My very same Portertfield pad / Mustang rotor combination makes when they get HOT!  I also kind of freaked the first time I heard it, but since then I assume it is just the nature of the pad compound making contact with the rotors at those tempatures.

My front brakes were rebuilt using Porterfield brake pads and new,'66 Mustang 
rotors.
 
The mechanic said the back brakes looked good and didn't need anything.
 
Thanks,
