Yes the brakes maybe brand new, but they can still squeal.

Volvo OEM dealer pads are made of a softer compound than that of aftermarket pads, thus the squeal. You can also make sure that your mechanic put in the correct shims and stop squeal--basically glue(permatex @$1 per side of car) on the shims to make them adhere to the back of the pad. Sometimes you may have the correct pads but didn't get those shims glued up properly.
