Bad front brake pads or not enough anti squeal on the pads. Here is how to change them out to help fix the problem. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.

2 choices pads are shot or the metal they make the pads from is causing squeal noise, also check the pad slides sometimes they shift and run on the rotor.
