Pull the brake lever tight (as if you breaking) and then at the same time tightening the bolt that holds the pad to the caliper.

This should stop your pads from making noise. Its also possible your pads just need to be replaced if the rubber has become to hard.
I think it's the caliper spring. It's a metallic sort of noise (it can be replicated by squeezing the brake lever, even when the wheels aren't spinning). What could be done for that?
