It's usually harmless, but the article discusses some possible fixes if it bugs you.
Its definately not squealing as it does it even when car is parked and off. It happens mainly at the bottom of braking when you start to feel the pressure build in the the brake pedal when the car is off. While running and in motion this creaking sound occurrs inbetween medium braking and braking hard. This occurs well after pads make contact with the rotor. I've never heard this noise before coming from a brake caliper especially both front calipers at the same time. It is a very odd noise and I'm sure it sounds worse because it resinates through the car. You hear it both inside and outside. If you sit by either front wheel you can hear which of the two is creaking at an instant, though both will make the noise at one point or another.
