I just had my front brakes and rotors replaced less than a month ago. I was wondering what is going on, especially since I won't have any money for repairs for about 3 weeks. Is this something I might be able to wait on till then (not that I have a choice). Thanks.

Since you just paid for new brakes, why not take advantage of a free follow up visit to that garage. They should be more than happy to simply remove that wheel and do a quick check of the work you paid for. Just don't authorize any further repairs without your signature on any new repair proposals.

Have immediate check on whether caliper is mounted properly. I had one put on where the thing was on wrong. A bolt was gone! Only 2 hold it on. Nut on other bolt was loose as well.
Take it back and ask to have it checked; if they argue, call your State Attorney General's Office and ask their complaints people what to do. They often send a paper to fill out and to send to them, good luck.
In another time, I had one where the pads of the disc brakes were on the wrong side, faced backwards!

Squealing sound is noticed when the alignment of the wheels are out..If the car is driven with wrongly aligned wheels the tyres wear out rapidly .
