Chirping brakes - while driving at any speed and stopping

My brakes have been chirping for a couple weeks now. They stop fine and don't grab at all..

It happens when I am driving at any speed and especially when stopping. I've recently replaced my rotors, but it's not the sound of wearing them in, as that was done 2k miles ago. Anyone else experience this issue? I don't have a lot of time to work on my car at my parents so I would like a rough diagnosis so I can jump right into it. Also, it's both sides but the drivers side squeaks under braking.

I am thinking the pads are worn but also read my calipers going bad could also cause this. Any thoughts?[/list]

You did not replace the pads when you replaced the rotors?

It sounds like you have either the pad is low and your down to the rivets or little metal bracket that is on the pad to warn you when the pad is getting low. Otherwise I would bet there is something stuck between the pad and rotor
