brakes squeeking is not uncommon. Usually from a shotty install (pad slap) dirty hardware, grease on hardware is bad, greese on pins is good. or improper brake in for the pads to seat.... basically the only way to correct it is to get new pads, rotor turning or new rotors (always recommended)

I solved my squeaky brake issue by replacing the pads. On the old pads, the shims came off and thats what caused it.
