Pad material may cause low speed squeeling.

a squeak, or a squeal? they might just need to break in.

i think its a squeal. it only happens from 10mph - 5mph

Some pads ARE noisy. What did you use, since you didn't say originally?

How did you bed them in? There is a procedure, and you may know it, but it's not clear what you did from your posts.

I didn't do it myself but is it possible that they need to be "broken in"

There is a prescribed process for bedding. Stops from 30, repeated several times. Do again at 50. Also try backing up at 10+ mph and then bedding in reverse several times. Some manufacturers differ, but everyone I know practices such a procedure. Once bedde, do a couple of hard stops to true them up in the caliper.

Nonetheless, some materials squeal at low speeds.
