Default squeaky breaks

My front breaks are squeaking when I apply the breaks. The breaks are in good condition, is there anything I can do to stop them from squeaking?

I dont know what a squeaky 'break' is , but usually when brakes squeak, it is the pad vibrating. You can try spraying some of that tacky 'brake quiet' crap on the back of your pads. Might work.

I have heard someone say something about notching the pads to get rid of squeaking. I have never done it though so I'm not too sure on this.
