when you brake your pushing the pads firmly against the discs. but when you have a sticking pad or warped disc it slightly brushes as i goes round causing a squeek like yours.

Youve got the same problem as me! this is exactly what im going through, its even a louder squeek than my exhaust i either thought i would be the brakes or the bearings so looks like its the brakes.
