I just had brakes pads and rotors done two months ago. Everything was fine. But now as soon as I hit the brake pedal, there's a real squeaky noise. It only happens when I hit the brake pedal.

Good morning,

If the pads are new, then good chance it is either the material of the pads itself causing the noise or it could be the rotor. Check and see if the rotors have heat marks on them such as blue or black spots.

If you used metallic pads, the noise is not uncommon.

The other thing is the clips that hold the pads from moving inside the caliper mounts. If the pads move, it will cause a noise.
