need help 99 Max SE

I just picked up my new 99 Max SE 5 speed from my local Nissan Dealer it has 47,000 miles my problem is this i am getting a noise almost like a rubbing sound something or like a womp womp womp sound (excuse the sound effects)the sound speeds up as i go faster and vice versa as i slow down i brought it back to the dealer yesterday and they said it was the front brakes and rotors and replaced the pads and resurfaced the rotors but the problem still exists any ideas what this could be? i am bringing it back to the dealer next week.Thanks for any help you can give.Oh and i think i am hearing a slight grinding noise as i take off and slow down some times

Sounds like your rotors might be warped.

could u describe the sound in a little more detail than "womp"? where is it coming from? is it coming from metal being rubbed? Is it the sound of friction? does it increase/decrease when u turn? when u are cruising in neutral? etc etc... it might be ur front hub+bearing...in that case then the sound "womp womp" should be accompanied by some vibration.. where exactly is this sound coming from?

Got a point there, the mechanic would have noticed the warped rotor when machining it.
