sounds like the pads rubbing,. something contaminating the pad. makes a
'scraping' sort of sound ?

Ive never had to clean discs in my many years running them in mud.
Check their alingment once youve cleaned any excess away, either you
have a freak-stone stuck in them or the rotor has been knocked and is
catching the pads.
