Default New brakes squeaking while driving

So I got brand new brake pads, and disks a few weeks ago and ever since my rear passenger side is squeaking as I drive. It's not just when I apply the breaks, I hear it with every rotation of the wheel. I can't tell if it's getting worse or if I'm just getting more annoyed at it. I'm just looking for suggestions on what it might be before I take the whole thing apart.

Gotta take it apart and look at it... Could be that a clip is rubbing or something like that, after I did my brakes I had a funny noise also turned out to be I never removed the wire I used to hang my calipers after I was done with the last one.

First thing I would check is the brake dust shields. Use your fingers (if you're strong enough hehe) or a screw driver to pry the shield away from your rotors. Either the shield itself could have minimal clearance and is rubbing, or a rock or something could be between the rotor and shield. Either way see if that helps. Otherwise you might need to take the brakes apart and re-check.

Where did you buy the rotors? Cheap ones may have excessive runout.

You can also get runout from burrs or not cleaning the mounting surfaces.

I recently had a sticky caliper I mistook for a squeaky wheel bearing. I would slide the rubber sheath that shields the pins which align the caliper's two halves back and forth after adding some 707 grease to the shafts. I hear a dab or two on the backs of the pads prior to install can help prevent squealing as well. gl
