Default Brake squeak at low speed

OK I haven't looked into this yet, but I have a sqeak coming from what I believe is the front left or front right brake. Here's what happens - at low speeds (less than 20) I'll hear a periodic squeak, but it goes away if I hit the brake. I believe I have plenty of pad left... Any suggestions for things to try?

ok at low speeds, you hear a squeak b4 you apply the brakes but it goes away after you apply the brakes?

hm maybe your pads are touching and when you apply the brakes, it pushes the pads back towards the calipers. check your inner pad, it might be slighty loose. also spray your brakes with brake cleaner.
