Most likely causes

  1. Wear indicators contacting the rotor — A small metal tab squeals on purpose when pad material runs low.
  2. Glazed pads or rotors — Hard braking and heat can glaze surfaces, causing squeal with plenty of pad left.
  3. Morning moisture or surface rust — A light squeal that disappears after a few stops is often just overnight condensation.

What to do

If the squeal is new and consistent, have the pads measured — most shops will check brakes free or cheap. Catching pads before they grind keeps the job to pads only.

Absolutely — humidity and morning dew cause temporary squealing that clears quickly. Consistent squealing at every stop is the one to act on.

Days to a few weeks depending on wear, but the price difference between acting now and waiting for grinding is significant.
