ok my brakes are starting to really annoy me now! had new ones put on a couple month back, brakes and pads. and they have been making a really loud high pitched screach.

they also when i brake really hard make a funny noise a low pitch whine

when you fit the pads you should apply a thin film of copper grease where the caliper contacts the pad to prevent them sqeaking. But you can do it now, only a liberal amount is needed.
