Sounds like something needs some lube. Are they drums in the rear? If so, the shoes may be squeaking as they move against the backing plate.

oh thing i learned at a garage is that if you tighten the e-break it will help. I used to have it too. He just adjusted the hand break and it fixed the issue.

It might be worth checking that the pad retaining clips aren't bent out of shape.
