front or rears? You sure the pads havent worn down too much? Some pads just squeal, mintex 1144's for example are a pain for it! Try cleaning the drums out if its rears? They could have glazed over which can cause squeal?

build up of brake dust on the pads makes them squeel.

its impossible for brake dust to build up on a pad
vibration between the pad and caliper is the cause of the high pitch squeal, hence why you use copper grease on the pad backing plates when fitting them
low brake pad indicators will aslo cause a squeel

If its front then its either a stone stuck in the pad, caliper/pad vibration as Gambit said or the pads have over heated and glazed over. Personally i'd remove the pads give them a good sanding with rough glass paper, clean them and the caliper and then regrease them with lots of copper grease. Also whilst your at it remove the rust lip from the outside edge of the disc with a file.
