When you install new pads, you need to apply brakes without agression (obviously safety should always be paramount). This allows the two surfaces to mate with each other.

Squeeling is the high frequency pitch due to vibration. Anti chatter grease applied sparingly between all the metal pieces can reduce the noise. OEM repalcement pads no longer come with the grease and that needs to be purchased saparately.
