Could just be noisy pads, did you put anti-squeal goop on them when you changed them last? How old are they? How do the rotors look?

so after inspecting my brakes and rotors i have noticed that front brakes look almost new, rotors in good condition, but rear brakes have like 1/4" left. when should i get to changing my rear brakes?
