Replaced brakes, have squeek now

Replaced my brake pads, as well as rotors about 2k miles ago, ever since replacement i get a high pitched constant squeek noise while driving. does not matter if brakes are in use or not. Only time the noise is not heard is when at a stop. It is rather annoying and i would like to get rid of it lol

pads i purchased incase that helps

Check to see if the backing plates or shims have slipped and are now in contact with the rotor. That, or a rock. I'd disassemble to check.

Same thing happens to me, but only when I brake, once I swapped the brakes with R1 and HP+. Let me know where is yours coming from.

Make sure your pads aren't in constant contact as well. They could be touching or rubbing even when not braking. Also, check as much of your brake lines as you can, I had an issue a couple years back with collapsed brake lines they were causing my pads to stay in contact with my rotors. It wore down my pads and warped my rotors.

did you put anti seize on the caliper guide pins? If not, do that and check that you didnt damage, or mis-seat the o-ring around the caliper piston.
