Default creaking brake noise

I have an odd creaking brake noise coming from my front left brake caliper. It occurs everytime I depress the brake pedal and is most noticeable when I have the windows rolled down and am stopped at a light. Has anyone had this occur to them? I had it looked at when I took the car in to have the rear diff fluid done due to the rubbing noise that some have experienced and the dealer said they wouldn't touch it because the brake calipers were powdercoated and aftermarket........Yet they are the same brakes I bought with the car brand new only powdercoated red....go figure.

Not to be confused with the infamous squeel that i had to get used to.
