brakes squeak when stopping slow

Brakes often squeak when stopping slowly due to several common reasons: worn- out brake pads, brake dust buildup, rotor issues (such as warping or uneven wear), and improper brake installation. New brakes may also squeak initially if the pads and rotors have not properly "bedded" or broken in, causing uneven friction layers and vibrations. Additionally, moisture or rust buildup on the rotors, debris stuck between pads and rotors, or the material composition of the brake pads can contribute to the squeaking noise. Regular maintenance, proper cleaning, using high-quality brake components, and gentle braking can help reduce or prevent brake squeaking at low speeds.
