What condition is the rotor in? Is it glazed? HOW did the brake pad fall out?

I have to be honest, in 30 years of working on cars, I have never seen a brake pad fall off. Someone didn't do a very good job. As far as your question,if the rotor is still in good condition, you may want to have it lightly cut to remove any glazing that is on it. That should quiet it.
