New brake pads may occasionally squeak due to dust, moisture, or the bedding-in process, but they shouldn't produce persistent or loud noises. If the squeaking continues, it could indicate issues such as improper installation, lack of lubrication on the backing plate, or low-quality pads. It's advisable to have them checked by a professional to ensure safety and proper functioning. Regular maintenance is key to avoiding such issues.

Occasionally, new brakes will squeak or squeal for a short time as the pads get "bedded in." But in general, brake pads that are properly installed should not squeak, especially with new rotors installed at the same time. Usually, one of the following components is used to PREVENT squeaky brakes: --brake pads with built-in shims to prevent vibration that causes squeaking. --brake pads with external shims (usually thin sheets of metal) between the pad and the rotor. --lubricant OR adhesive between the brake pads and the caliper to prevent vibration. Auto manufacturers specify what anti-squeak measure(s) should be used for brakes of specific vehicles. If whoever installed your brakes didn't follow the correct recommendation, that could be why they squeak. It's also possible, but less likely, that the wrong pads were used. You should take it back to the shop that did the work and ask them to do it correctly.
