check that the rear brakes are still good...or need adjusting at all...
i have my front brakes squeeking too...a little squeek is fine now and then....you can get stop squeek stuff to put on the rotors to quiet them if thats the prob...

Whats the braking feel like....you stop ok?

A screeching sound is the pads or shoes telling you it's time to change them. A squeeking sound is usually from the front brakes. I use the disc brake quiet stuff (not the spray kind) that you apply on the back of the pads. That stuff works great and it's only like $3 for the bottle (probably enough to do 10 sets).

the thing is that my brakes are new, and it is still making the sound.

Did you put shims on the front pads when they were replaced? If not, that could be it. I don't have any shims in mine and they make some noise.
