What causes water to continue to flow through the shower head when you have the diverter to only flow through the spout?

depending on your spout diverter if its a valve or is it on the spout it self, if the diverter is on the spout then your diverter is not letting full flow of water out of the spout and its putting enough pressure to allow the water out of the shower head, I had this problem before and if you change the spout it should fix the problem. If you have a 3 way valve which is on the wall then i would suggest replaceing the parts in that valve if possible other wise change out the divert valve. If your broke like me and want a cheap fix then put either a water flow resistor or a shutoff right before your shower head.

What causes a squeal when you use the shower diverter?
It's usually due to a combination of two things: back pressure from the shower head, aggravated by the newer low-flow shower heads, acting against a slight leak at the diverter valve. I find that it gets worse after I've been away for a few days and assume that there's scale build-up in both places... the shower head and the diverter. You can try using a descaling solution on the shower head and/or checking that the diverter valve is seating properly and possibly greasing its seat with some silicone grease.
