Usually it's just the brake pads vibrating against the caliper and/or the caliper piston. It's not generally harmful, just annoying. The cure is simple enough, many auto parts stores should carry a small tube of 'anti squeal' or 'disc brake quiet' which is an adhesive designed for use on brake pads. To apply it you must remove the pads and apply small amounts of the adhesive to the BACKS of the pads at the points where they contact the caliper or piston. Reinstall the pads, push the brakes once or twice, and let the adhesive cure for a while (unless the package directions state otherwise). You should notice an immediate lessening or stoppage of the squealing, these products are usually very effective when applied properly. If these products cannot be found, small amounts of either RTV sealant or liquid gasket, applied in the manner mentioned above, can sometimes be effective.
