Did you check the toe on the pads? How about wiping down the rims with a clean rag?

I ride my bike to ride my bike, and sometimes it takes me where I need to go.

I'll second Opus' advice. I've yet to have a squeal not resolved by a careful cleaning of the rims/discs and pads. But I'm sure other reasons are possible too. Good luck with it.
