You didn't say what you'd already done or what "loud brakes" really means but if your brakes have a sort of squeal to them it could be one of several things -
1. brake pads are so thin that the rivets, holding the pad to the mountings, are actually rubbing metal to metal on the brake drum - replace the brake pads.
2. it could be carbonized (and powerded) pad material between pad and drum - take a hose and try rinsing out the wheel area and allow to dry before driving
Or
3. back to worn brake pads - the noise could be a depth (or thickness) indicator (a small piece of spring steel) that's usually part of the new pad that gets closer to the drum as the pad wears down and then as the pad gets thin enough, the indicator will start touching the drum and make a squealing sound to let you know that it's time to repalce the pads.
I'm not a mechanic, but these are the sort of things I've run across in the past years.
