You can also get loud squealing from brake pads if they don't have anti-squeal shims on the back of the pads.

I would take the pads off and put the anti-squeal stuff on the back of them (your auto parts store will know what you're talking about). Put it anywhere on the pad it touches anything else, just don't put it on the actual friction material otherwise you'd have no brakes.
