Like the others said its probably break dust, especially if it sounds like a cat in heat. If a mechanic changed them take them back and make them fix it. If you changed them yourself take them back off and clean everything with brake cleaner (it comes in an aerosole can and is really nasty stuff so dont inhale any of it but it shouldnt bother your skin) and then put the brake quiet stuff that the other guy was talking about on your pads, that should take care of it.1996 nissan sentra will crank but not turn over?

Did you change them or have it done by a mechanic? There may be break dust, or the parts may not be correct for the vehicle or incorrect installation. You should talk to your local mechanic and have them take a look, because it is better to be safe than sorryIt could be brake dust from the change. Or it could be road dust, that happened to me. Take it back to the mechanic who did the brake job for you, and have them take a look. For me, it was as simple as them taking a hose and washing off the rotors.

they sell anti-squeak for breaks that can be applied between the pad and the caliper this should do the trick, if not, when you change you breaks, you should have your rotors or drums turnedthey also sell spray cans of brake cleaner, remove tire and spay that on there.

Disk brakes or drum brakes?What is the best way to get water stains out of cloth seat covers?
Disk brakes have a device that actually touches the disk that produces a squeaking noise, (it is called a wear indicator.) It tells when the pads are at the end of their use and needs to be replaced. Or the pads are wet and need to be dried, (drying can be accomplished by use.) Have a brake shop look at them.

Drum Brakes have rivets on the shoes (pad like parts). The rivets act like the wear indicator on disk brakes. Either the drum is worn out, the shoes are worn, or out of adjustment. See a brake expert.
