It may just be a normal function of the pads if you installed some really hard ones. I prefer OEM from Honda. Anyway, shims and anti squeal grease comes with the OEM pads. If you didn't use any with yours, that might explain the noise.

Shims and anti-squeal. Like he said. If you didn't replace them or use any for that matter, then that could solve your problem.

GREASE GREASE GREASE!!!!
You need to make sure that all the shims are in place, and also any place where the brake pad contacts a metal surface you need to have a good coating of a brake caliper grease or other silicone grease. be careful not to get any on the friction material.

i asked the same question on here before and was told to sand the rotor, pads, and piston. it got rid of 90% of the squeaking. but, when i brake lightly, it would still squeak.
