it's the squeal of the dust in the gaps i was told originally
since then, it seems to depend on a lot of other factors, such as the type of pad, newness of the discs and stuff like that
mine squeak when i reverse, but not when i go forward, but only when it's been raining, so go figure

Disc brakes rarely used to squeal when pads contained asbestos,,,, but they did used to wear out a lot quicker.
As copper grease seems to stop squeal, it could be the pads moving around on the piston

i always copper slip the back of the pads and run emery cloth over the disks and slightly on the pads too just to key the surfaces so they don't glaze, never get squeeling then.

Did you take the shine off the contact surface of the pads? (might not be right, just something i got shown)

problem with brake squeal is that back in the day they used asbestos in the pad material to disperse heat.now thats deemed dangerous they use metal filings in the material.brake squeel is nigh on impossible to eliminate permanenty but cleaning carriers,copper grease back of pads etc can help it for a while
