Could be that your brake pads are worn out and the wear indicator tabs are scratching the rotors.

This is most likely the cause. When you step on the brake and release it does the sound go away?

no i'm pretty sure its not the brake pads, as it squeaks at low speeds no matter if i apply the brakes or not.

yea but understand that on new vehicles the brakes "wear indicators" are designed to squeak when you are not applying the brakes.
