Any areas show signs of rubbing, like shiny areas on the rotor? Seems strange.

I've had this happen before, and it's not that. Good suggestion though.

Wheel weights are on the outside rim of the wheel.

Absolutely none, which is what I found to be odd.

I drove it a bit and it seems to have gone away some? Full lock coming out of my driveway still makes noise, but not as much. I'm wondering if maybe removing the caliper did something odd but driving it 20 or so miles fixed it? No idea, I'll replace the rotor with the new one (again) and see if it goes away.

Could be the brake caliper mounting bolts are too long rubbing on disc, if you put new ones on
