There is a blue cream that can prevent them from squealing again at any auto store. My guess, from experience, is that your brakes got too hot and you went through water that gave it a "quicker cooling" effect rather than cooling off regularly. If they persist it may be time for a light turn of your discs'.

The cream goes on the PISTON side of the brake pad, NOT the pad side!!!!
There are several possibilities for this:
1. Brakes are not bedded in properly, reffer to the brake pad manufacturer for the correct procedure for the type of pads you have purchased.
2. The Pad is moving around when you apply the brakes and shuddering very slightly, therefore the metal backing of the pad is vibrating and creating a squeal as it moves against the caliper piston (this is where the cream comes into it, you apply the cream to the inbetween of 2 shims, and install the shims, then the shims rub against each other and on the rubbery cream, no more noise)
3. the Disc/Rotor has become glazed, and therefore not being able to bed the pads in properly, and the only way to overcome this is to have the rotors machined if there is enough metal left on them.
4. As other have mentioned, the spelling issue :p

Hi, I get the "rubber duck noise" when I use the brakes [i.e. heavily]. It comes from under the dash, it sounds much like a warning. Brake fluid is lowish, I know I need to do a bleed and refill. Can anyone elaborate?
