Brake noises are hard to diagnose over the internet. I say remove the wheels and see if one of the backing plates is hitting the rotor.

another thing that i have had wrong before was that my brakes were dirty. after a couple of days they cleaned themselves off and the squeaking went away.

Squeeking can be caused by a brake pad not properly fastened in the caliper assembly. The pad will move in the direction of the rotor untill it can no longer move then in a word, snap, back then follow the rotor again. This occurs several times over a milli second and sets up a frequency as it moves across the mating surface of the caliper or anchor contact points. The frequency becomes audible as a squeek.

Check to ensure the pads are as free of play as possible without them being bound tight. Then use specially designed brake silicone grease and lubricate the contact points and the contact points the pad resting on the piston will move into as it wears. Also be sure the pad that is seated on the piston has it's material surface cover between it and the piston face. The pad is usually a specially engineered thermal plastic that helps eliminate metal to metal contact and the noises that results.
