Brake squeek is normal on disc brakes. It'll eventually go away. Unless it's a bent backing plate or semi metallic flakes contacting the rotor. Just keep driving it and see if it goes away. If not, you'll have to pull the wheels and take a look.

When was the last time you got brake pads?

my guess is that the pads are vibrating against the caliper causing a squeek. You could try pulling the pads off and putting a little Disc Brake Quiet where the back of the pads contact the pistons.
Does the squeek go away when you press on the brakes hard?
