Have you checked your brake pads? there is a tab on them that is designed to rub to make that squealing noise your talking about so that people take there car to get looked at and have the pads changed.

mine does this too, but i only just changed front + rear and had the rotors machined like 2 months ago...

doesnt always happen and it stops for about 20 seconds after applying the brakes and then its screeech again

yeah the first thing i would check would be the "squealer"

in addition, excessive brake dust can cause harmonic resonance and make a squeeky squeely sound.

if you just replaced your brakes i would dissassemble them (only disc's not drums) and put anti seize on the slides for the caliper and clean all of the brake dust off that you can see.

also there is a gel that you put BEHIND the brake pads that will absorb some of the harmonics



hope this helps
