Worn pads? Most common answer by far. (Either that or you drive a Volvo Lancer...I swear older Volvo brakes squeek no matter what condition they're in).

Dirty/dusty discs. Another common reason. Can't believe I didn't mention it.

Anyway...it shouldn't be anything to be concerned about, ryland. At least...not so long as you're still slowing down/stopping when you step on em.
