The noise is a high resonating pitch, it comes from the high vibration of the pads inside your calipers. You can apply a disc pad compound onto the backing of the pads to help eliminate the noise. Also the brake dust accumaltion will cause this, but that is a part of life with disc pads. The only other thing i can tell you, because ive worked in this industry for over 25 years, is the quality of the pads have a lot to do with noise. If you bought and installed a cheaper brand of pads, you will always have the noise. But if you use a good quality brand such as Wagner or EIS, this problem will be gone almost immediately.
So whats in your wallet? Buy a good name brand!

most of the time you have to make sure the rotors are exactly the same thickness or there will be vibration.... thus squeeling. I have an impala and they are notorius for it even when the rotors are the same. The only sure fire way to stop it is to get ceramic pads. They dont squeel at all.
P.S. turning rotors .... not a good idea more than once.

nothing makes them squeak they squeak when they need to be replaced, it's usually an indication that your brake pads are wearing thin and if they get too thin they will then be rubbing metal to metal and you may need rotors so your better off trying to get them fixed before the squeaking gets too bad. usually needs new pads and/or shoes or both depends on the vehicle Just read further go back to where you had them fixed ( that's your main problem you don't work on cars) they may just need more membrain a goop to stop squeaking

It's a harmonic vibration that is all.
Until the pads seat fully inot the rotors.
There is also a product to put on the calipers to stop
the squeak I believe.

Usually brake dust or some form of oil has gotton on the rotor. Use a spray brake cleaner, should solve your problem.

Try spraying some brake cleaner on the disc. Sometimes dust can cause your brakes to squeak.

There's this blue non squeak stuff they usually put on when the brake pads are changed, did they put that on?

Check back with the agent or where you change the pads. You might hit on the brakes too hard. It might be due to not fixed properly.

You might have dust . There is a spray you can buy that can clean the dust off.
Also, did someone else preform the brake job? If so, just take it back the the shop and they should (damn well better) fix it for free.
Good luck.
