Squeak when applying the brakes
Front or rear.??? my guess front.... wild guess.
if car has pads with the noise makers this is normal and the early warning.
if pads are thick (why not look first???) and squeal.?
if you have new rotors and pads and all above is good. they may not squeal. the rotors can be tad bump and the pads will resonate to this rotor surface, its harmless this. only annoying.
other factors, why not do a full inspection of the pads and rotors
first and not just guess and wonder.
like:
OMG:
this is what we call SOP
standard operatiing proceedures.
SOURCE: squeaking mouse noise from the passenger front tire area.
If I had to make a guess, I'll bet the noise is the wear indicators on your front brake pads just beginning to touch the rotors. If you remove the wheel, you should see a small metal tab on the rear of the pad. If it is very close to the rotor, replace the front pads. I've seen lots of people just bend the tab back to stop the noise, but if you do that it's almost guaranteed that you will forget 'till the rotors are all scored up. So, do it now!!
SOURCE: replaced pads/resurfaced/anti squeak and STILL a squeak. Why?
one thing you didn't mention is if the dealer replaced the caliper hardware. take alook at this:
