it could be loose pad or brake dust and it may have somthing to do on what brand or cheap pads you got on there? have you replaced front brake pads or roters? another thing did you replace front brake pads and not have rotors turned? theres a warning signal if it does it all the time with out pushing on brakes can you still hear it?

my 03 does the same thing.quiet while driving, but squeeks like crazy when i hit the brakes. had her in to dealership for something else and had them look at the brakes and they say theres plenty of pad left and it was just dust. i sprayed the fronts with brake cleaner and it shut them up. thats what they said to try,

Yeah. Try that brake cleaner. If it doesn't quit you may have to put new brake hardware on the fronts. Springs and shims. Also 3-M makes a spray can of stuff called Disk Brake Quiet. You spray it on the back side of the pads and it will end brake squeal.
