Shouldn't need any anti seize between the hub & rotor

It sounds like something is contacting the back plate, definitely a sheet metal resonant type of sound

Is this the first brake job you have done? Have you got the right rotors?

By back plate do you mean the dust shield or?
Rotors are:
DBA En-Shield Brake Rotor Pair Rear DBA2027E
DBA En-Shield Brake Rotor Pair Front DBA2026E

I think there may be a bit of movement in the holes for the studs and the studs themselves but not too sure as its been a while since I've checked, is that normal?
Was going to say that. Something is contacting the backing plate. Is the hose re-connected up?

Also, whats the chances its the park brake binding in the back?

That could be a possibility but I haven't noticed the wheels locking up or even struggling to move whilst driving, sorta gave up on it

common mistake a lot of ve/f owners make is installing the pads the wrong way they are inner and outer only, look at the back of the pads and see the pins in the middle its the inner they fit between the pistons outer have 2 pins spaced to fit in the arches of the caliper

Yep and learnt that the hard way, drove for a few km with the pads the wrong way around and came home to a rather hot wheel.. checked pad and rotor thickness and everything seemed all good after it though.

But yeah, the pins on the pad at the back of the rotor are between the pistons and on the outside the pins are at the edges
