To prevent brake squeal i coat the backplate of the brake pads with copper grease (anti seize) it dampens the harmonic vibration and the squeal goes away

You can also angle the rear edge of the pads a bit with sandpaper on a flat surface. I have also heard of swaping the rotors from left to right to remove the squeek.

They make stuff especially for brakes comes in a tube & easy to use. That's what I've used to coat the back of the pads and the pins that some brakes have for allowing the pads to slide on.

Any auto parts store would have it.

I also now use the copper antiseize. I beveled the edges once and it did not help.
