squeeky breaks

I am wondering if anyone have this same problem, or any ideas to solve this.
every morning I pull my car out of the driveway, and when ever I apply the breaks it squeeks really loud, after I pull out on to the street, after a block or so, the noise is gone. It also happened wfter I park my car for a hour or two. I just had my breaks done in March, so It should not be the pads. Also I had it check at a break place, they said they can't find the noise, cuz I drove my car there and it was gone. anyways they checked the breaks and everything is fine and I have plenty of pads left and my rotors are fine.
Please help me the noise is annoying, especially with neighbors noticing my noisy car in the morning.
Thanks

yeah mine does the same thing but i think its the rotors. when it first started i got the pads changed. but then it was still squeeking! so i took it to the dealer cuz im still under warranty, but they said since i didnt have oem pads they cant do anything about it! so i guess ill wait till about 60k get the pads replaced with oem then take to dealer!

If its not the rotors...

Try buying a spray for squeaky brakes. Its only a few bucks. U can find it at places like AutoZone, Prep Boys or R&S Strauss.

I had the exact problem. Only did it for a few miles but once I started driving the car fow awhile it went away. I went to change the pads and they didn't need to be changed. I already had the tires off so I changed them anyways. I haven't had the problem since though.

I had many squeaking problems with my brakes. I suggest check your back brakes. Mine were shot after 28K miles and by changing them it seemed to get rid of all my brake noise.
