it is necessary to have more braking force applied to the front of the vehicle since that is where the engine and transmission is located which is the bulk of the vehicle's weight.
the noise is made by the brake's rotor and pad surfaces making contact. either due to the material of the brake pad itself or because grease got on the rotor when the pads were replaced.
either bad part or poor job.you might be able to fix it by cleaning the rotor surface unless you want to replace the pads and resurface the rotor.
