Rear brake question?

hi everyone,
I replaced the rear brake pads and rotors this long weekend. They seems worked fine, however, when I hit the brake, I can hear some noise like "bo-bo-bo-bo.."
It sounds like "bubbles" or some "pump".
Is this normal?
What should I do to get rid of this noise?

No one can help me?
Well, let me describe my problem more clearly.
After I replaced the rear pads and rotors, I heard some kind of "clunking" or "knocking" noise when braking. It sounds like "do-do-do-do-do.." or " bo-bo-bo-bo..." or "po-po-po-..."
Beside the noise, everything works fine.
Any idea wha may cause this kind of noise?
Is it possible that suspension not brake makes this noise?
What should I check?

When you say everything works fine do you mean that there is no vibration during braking? Do you have the shims and retaining clips in place?

I didn't feel vibration. Well, maybe a little.
I am not using stock pads, instead, I use Quietstop pads.
they came with self-adhere shims.
And about the retaining clips, I use the "rear brake hardware kits" from autozone.

I disassembled and re-install the rear brake this afternoon but no help. The noise is still there. When I brake, I can hear the "clunking" noise.
I suspect that the noise is coming from the suspension not from brake.
I also suspect that ABS cause this noise, however, ABS should not work during light brake, right?

Anyone know what happened to my maxima?
