I changed out my front brakes and rotors a couple of months ago. Now everytime I apply the brakes when rolling I get a short chirp sound coming from the front wheel. I know it is coming from the drivers side and I believe it comes from the passenger as well but it's hard to tell. Also, if I drive down a rough road the chirp sound happens at all bumps without the brakes being applied.



I've taken the front wheels off and inspected the brakes but can't find anything out of the ordinary. Brakes perform normal, it's just very annoying. Any ideas to what might be causing this sound.?
 
Try some of that anti-squeak stuff between the brake pads and calipers to keep the pads from vibrating. I use thick silicon that comes in a four of five ounce tube. It lasts quite long.
