    when brake pads are installed and anti squeel compond should be put on them
    if all of the brakes are new the metal parts are vibrating against each other
    like a bell ringing
    it's harmless
    you just won't know when the pads are worn out

    It may be the type of brake pads that you bought, but you also may try silicone brake compound spread a thin coat over the back of the pads, also lube the slides with the same compound. It is also a great idea to turn the rotors or replace with new if not machineable to make them true and give the pad a fresh seat to wear in evenly and properly.
