This is probably the same issue as the one on a recent post
The Brake noise is probably due to the hand brake pads (seperate from the disc pads) slightly rubbing whilst they seat in on the Hand Brake drum.

If you cannot stand the noise
You can fix it by driving your car slowly for a few hundred metres.
With the hand brake engauged to the take up point (nearly stopping the car) You simply drive along and release/pull on and off for a about 10 seconds at a time for a minute or two (this will 'seat' the pads). When you have released it and the noise disappears it should be OK from then on. If this does not fix it, take the car back to your dealer
