    They are just dry, lubricate them. Heavy duty grease I reckon would be best. Absolutely guaranteed not to squeak.

    Just to clarify John R's advice - lubricate the back of the pads (non-disk side). Don't put any lubricant on the disk side as it tends to increase braking distances a bit!
    This all involves removing the wheel, then the calipers and then the pads. Use copper grease or some high temp grease on the back of each of the 4 pads.
    If you are not 100% sure of what you are doing then pay someone who is to do it!

    I had a noise like this on my Colt, turns out a tiny stone had got stuck in between my brake pad and the disc.
