Ok I know this will sound dumb but take it to the car wash and wash out all the break dust. It will help.
Also did you turn the rotors when you put on the new pads. Did you put metallic pads on or semi metallic?

Is the squeaking only in the morning ?
This is normal because rust sets in overnight and gets removed with the first few applications of the brakes..
If it is happening all the time and the brakes are new;
1-did you free up the sliders and use a die grinder on the hub to clean off the rust..
2-do the rotors have a build up of rust on the edges-If it does grind it down..
3-try bevelling the edges of the pads and apply disc brake quiet to the BACK of the pads..not the face please..
good luck

If you put new brake pads on your ford taurus car and they
still squeal, you have to check the gap between the pads and
wheel cover- too close almost touching or it's dirt accumulated
which needs cleaning. Make sure you use the right type and
quality of pads for the brakes.
Use the brakes a few times when the car is running and I'm
sure the squealing noise won't be there anymore. Wishing
you a happy and safe driving!

First of all, bad brake pads don't squeak. If that's the only reason you changed them, sorry.
Brake pads usually have to have shim pads or the red or blue pad adhesive on them. The squeaking is caused by the pad vibrating in the caliper, which either of the above two things usually takes care of.

Gezzzz! After U install the NEW pads U need 2 BRAKE them in slowly,called seat or temper them ! U need 2 make 8 or 10 stops from about 30 to 40 MPH & wait a few seconds between stops! price of pads won't make the noise better.I ASSUME U are using Metallic pads ? Asbestos pads aren't used much anymore like I use on my truck.So take a few minutes on a back street & temper them !

have u got antishim plates on the back of the brake pads? you might have to use anti squeak red paste on the back of the pads or the discs need machining.

It will eventually go away. Unless you did something wrong. They just need to wear down to pattern on the rotor.
But brakes don't squeak. They squeel. Are you sure it is the brakes?

You'll need to take off the brake rotors, wash them very well with water and soap (they have microscopic particles which you cant see and help for your brakes to be noisy)!...rinse them with water very well at the end!...
Use some special grease for brake pads (or the blue or red glue-spray) to put on the back (on the shims) so it'll dry and your pads will stick to the caliper piston so they won't rattle!...I'll suggest you to take off your pads and re-install them to be sure you're going to do it well, because you're also taking off the rotors!...
If your rotors have some "glaze" or some disturbances on the braking surface, then you have to resurface them (if they still have enough "metal" on them)!..
Take them to a local mechanic shop or an auto parts to do it if needed (they'll charge you around $ 10.00 usd each)!...If they're not glazed or need to be resurfaced, use a sand paper (fine grit for metal, and sand them a little -before you wash them-!...
Honestly I think it'll take your "pain" and noise away!...

It may be that your brake rotors are worn. Get your rotors measured, if they are'nt worn get them resurfaced or just replace the rotors. Also remember that with cars and parts you get what you pay for, i.e. cheap pads... cheap results.
