Default brake noise

just had new pads and rotors installed on my taurus. They say pads are semi-metallic. Normal braking has no noise. If I touch the pedal lightly at 5 mph, i hear a metal to metal grinding noise. they say that it is nothing to be concerned about. I don't like the noise. What is the cause? What is the solution? Doesn't happen on my other cars.

Cold semi metallic tend to sound like that. But also check that everything is riding right and your clipper and pads are seated right.
