If you have an alarm try turning it off with the key fob thingy and try it again.

model?
mods?

So what else did you do besides work on the brakes? That alone won't do it, unless in the process you somehow ran the battery down by leaving a door open, light on etc.
Does the engine crank over normally and not fire, or does it clunk or click but not crank? Exactly what "noises" do you hear?

Ok then, so answer the other question- what else did you do? There is no way that brake work alone will cause a no-start condition, so you must have done something else at the same time that caused this.

Doesn't add up. Did you have the key on for any reason for a long time?
Check all the fuses, you may have somehow blown one. Look especially at the "IGN" fuse in the under-dash fuse box, and the main fuses in the under-hood box.
When you turn the key to "run" (dash lights on) and pause there before starting, do you hear the fuel pump run for a few seconds?

Pull out the coin tray under the left side drivers dash, the fuse box is behind there. If you have your owners manual all this info and more is in it.
The fuel pump makes a low humming or buzzing from the rear of the car, you should hear it prime if you turn the key on all the way but don't start the engine.

Check to make sure all plugs remain plugged in in the engine bay. Perhaps the AFM or starter wires becake unplugged. Might have been loose for a while and just now came off?
