LOW AIR PRESSURE IN YOUR TIRES loose accessory belts such as alternator can squeal
first of all, the pads may be semi-metallic and have chunks of metal in them which may cause the squeal, change to a less metallic pad may help, also the backing of the pads should have an anti-squeal gel applied to them, when you apply the brakes, the pads will hyper vibrate and can cause a squeal. The gel will stop the vibrating. first of all, the pads may be semi-metallic and have chunks of metal in them which may cause the squeal, change to a less metallic pad may help, also the backing of the pads should have an anti-squeal gel applied to them, when you apply the brakes, the pads will hyper vibrate and can cause a squeal.

Look to the alt. belt. It may squeal under load.
If the brake pads come with shims or other anti-rattle hardware and it is not used on the vehicle, the brake pads will vibrate against the rotor as they are being applied and that will cause them to squeal.
Wear indicators on brake pads
Loose belt -- replace or lubricate ADD-ON If it is a metallic squeal that continues for a minute or so after the car starts it could be your water pump bearing. Get your mechanic to check it out and replace before you need a tow truck.

In my 1999 Alero, it did this and it was traced back to the power steering pump going bad.
That depends on how, when and where it is squealing. For example, if the brakes squeal when applied, the brake pads are probably worn down. A squeal from the engine compartment whenever the engine is running could be a loose serpentine belt (especially if the squeal changes a little when you rev the engine).
