Don't which model you have, but this is pretty common. There are anti-squeal
shims available for TR4s-6s, which help some. There are also goos that you
put on the back of the pads that are supposed to help. Mine squeal sometimes
as well, but for me, that is a plus since my horns recently stopped working.
