if there hope brakes its part of the deal. pads have a heap to do with it. the less metal in them the less the noise. try some different pads maybe organic ones x

Contaminated or badly set up+1
i had badly sqeeling brakes (new 2nd hand bike), replaced pads, i always re-align my calipers every time the wheel is put back in, clean calipers with hot water hose after every (dirty) ride and if you like to apply wd40 after washing your bike then shield the rotors and calipers.
squeel has stopped and brakes bite good and proper.
