Default Vibratinf noise when stopping

VOLVO S 70 1998-When I stop at a stop sign/light my car makes a vibrating sound and then it stops after I come to a complete stop. I put on new rear brake pads(Volvo pads not after market) about a month ago. Bleed brakes etc. I am not sure if this is what is the problem. Everything has worked fine up to now. I was gone for 5 days and the car was sitting. When I got back this started happening.

Do you have any other symptoms? What you have described doesn't shine any light on anything. To vague...

it is just very strange. As I begin to stop and put my foot on the brake and start to slow there is a vibration that rumbles almost like when you try to start with the emergency brake slightly engaged. As soon as I come to a complete stop the vibration stops. I am not sure where the vibration originates but it seems like it is under the car cabin area.
I drove my car to and from work today with it doing it only after about 20 minutes into my trip home. It was about 40-45 degrees and raining today and when it is this kind of weather it doesn't seem to do it as much as when it is sunny and above 50 degrees. I know this sounds very strange. I am describing it as best I can. I have made an appoinment with the shop on Wednesday. Thanks for your help.

How about the front pads, did you work on them?
