New bike – sound is coming from the brake callipers when not in use, is the rotor catching on the brake pads? – will this go with time / use or should it be fixed?

Yes. Must be fixed.
New bike from a shop or new bike shipped to you?
So it’s likely some combination of the brakes not being perfectly centered on the rotor, the pads being not worn, the calipers not retracting fully, the rotor being out of true, and/or the wheel being out of true.
Some of that is fixable by you, some of that is best left to a bike shop. It should be an easy fix though and definitely worth doing.
