Default Brakes squeaking

The brakes squeak on our 19' R. I think we have the brakes right under the ceramic brakes. Is this normal or should I check something? Pretty sure there is plenty of pad left. I'll put it on the lift next week and have a good look.

mine did that for about a week then went away. Probably a small piece of something. Give it about a week and see if it goes away..

It depends on when and how they squeak.
Is it a light squeal or a heavy/loud squeal?
Under light braking only, heavy braking only, or all the time?
Only or worse with cold brakes or no change with hot brakes?
As soon as you apply the brakes or only just as you come to gentle stop?

Hang on, you've gone from squeak to squeal, which are rather different sounds! Maybe the OP could clarify.

We occasionally get a low-speed squeak on both or F and the wife's minivan.

With the van, I tell her "They squeak so that you know they are working". LOL

Sometimes you'll get a small rock or pebble stuck in there. I've found that backing up and pressing the brake pedal will dislodge it. May take 2 or 3 tries.

Shmeak schmeal it all sounds the same to me!
And yes we need the OP to clarify if we are going to have any chance of helping him/her.
I ask all these questions because I have had both squeaks and squeals (and especially graunching) from the brakes on many cars including all three of my Jags and depending on the answers to those questions the 'fix' is different.

I need to drive it. My wife has been in it. But I have heard it as she pulls up. Low speed squeak. Only when braking and just before a complete stop.

That helps.
All three of my Jags (and no other car I ever owned) when on stock/factory/OEM pads "graunched" just as I was coming to a stop. Every single time and worse with cold brakes. Much more of a grinding graunch than a squeak though.
The fix for me was to replace the incredibly dusty stock pads with ceramic pads, and on the F-Type to replace them with Porterfield R4S "carbon kevlar" pads.
The F-Type still graunched a little but a couple of months ago I thought I fixed it by removing the front pads and slathering the backs and ends of the pads (where they sit in the calipers) with brake grease. That killed the graunch sure enough but it didn't last, the first time I drove in the rain it came back, not as bad as before but still there.
