Brake noise after brake shoes replaced 444-544 1962

I finally got that stuck anchor plate off; had to cut it with a die grinder but finally got it off and new one on, adjusted everything including the e-brake and even replaced the dust covers on the e-brake cables, so I finally really consider my brake job done now.
My question is, I have a weird noise I didn’t have before. During braking, it pulls evenly and smooth but as I get down to say 10 or 15 mph, I hear a “whoop whoop” sound. It is pretty loud, and stops if I let up on the brake pedal. I don’t hear it when slowing a little in traffic, of when just coasting down, but only the last few feet of a full stop.
Do I just need to brake hard a few times to get the new shoes “set” more or something?
