A squeek would indicate a sound that is not always present. A squeel would indicate a constant high pitch whine. If it is a squeek you need to check shocks and grommets. If it is a squeel you need to check the brake system and the bearings
it maybe the synchroniser which is under the throttle body (and houses the cam sensor)and makes the same noise. use a rubber hose to pimpoint the location of the noise
I use powder you know like a baby powder and thst works great to make the sound go away.
but i see that the last time he had them change was in 2012???? that's five years ago!!! either he never drives it or you made a typo.
if its only the sound try baby powder not to much just a bit on the rotters.
if it has been five years ago since he change them he need to change them like yesterday!
brake pads don't get dry by the way!
Most likely a belt problem or a worn out tensioner. You left off the year, make, model and engine so it's a guessing gamet. Read this post on how to track down the source of noise
incorrect pad material
brake manufacturers make 3 different pads for different applications and you need the pads used for taxi operations
there are anti noise pads fitted behind the pads ( plastic inserts and springs in use also to stop the noise
make sure that the callipers are free to slide on the mounting pins
other items like slotted and drilled rotors may be a help
talk with accredited specialist brake shops to make sure that during the replacement process you didn't miss a vital item that is now causing the noise
if the sound is a roaring noise, replaced the wheel bearings, if its a squeeling or rubbing when pressing the brake pedal while the vehicle is in motion replaced the pads and mayne the rotors
