It goes on and off, does not squeak all the time. I can understand the noise made by the brake if we step on them too deep. But the squeak I'm talking here is different, it will go on when I step lightly on the break and again it does not happen all the time.
Those pads are really quiet pads. If you didn't reuse the OEM shims or didn't apply copper antiseize or compound in the right places on the back of the pad it will most likely squeel.

Most manufacturers have recommended bedding procedures, but if they don't, do 5 or 6 60 - 5 MPH hard braking stops, let them cool and retest your 'squeak' problems.
The thing I notice is brake starts to squeak / making sharp noises when I'm going down the hill and stepping on the break lightly. Again it does not happen all the time.

Thank you for the reply and advice.

I didn't install them myself, asked someone to do it for me, didn't have spare time to do it.

Copper antiseize? Where to get it? I know he sprayed something onto the pads, said to eliminate the squeak.

Its hard to to say not knowing what he used but 99% of the spray on crap never works. Usually the permatex copper or nickel antiseize works as a good high temp lubricant. Usually lubricating the top of the pads where the retaining clip touches and on the sides and back works well along with the stock shims. Somtimes they will get quieter after 500 miles or so and they are properly broken in. Those are known to be almost dead silent pads though so they shouldn't be making noise. Maybe give it a week or so...hawks are noisy at first too.

Btw you can get the copper permatex at NAPA.
