^^^^^^ What he said.

If they are metallic, they are gonna be a bit more nosiey than ceramic, not by much but enough to notice. And the dusting is night and day compared between the two.

I am glad to hear the noise has lessened. It might just be the pads trying to "bed" against the new rotors. Metallic pads are gonna be more crunchy the first time or two out. If they are metallic truly, you are always gonna have that dusted look on your rims till you switch over to Ceramics.
