may or may not be your brakes. Could be your bushings, or tire rubbing in your wheel well.

I've had terrible squeaking before that I thought was the brakes but turned out it was a piece of metal jammed under my car that was scaping against my sway bar (or anti-roll bar if you want to be technical).

The brakes are geometricaly fixed in the suspension, therefore occasional squeeks resulting from suspension movement could only happen if a caliper, upright or control arm component is defective (loose, broken). I wonder if you are hearing the coils, because the isolating rubber is missing!

make sure the brake backing plate is not touching the rotor, and make sure you have a lot of material left on the pads because this can happen if they are worn and the wear indicators are scraping the rotors.
