Only when you apply the brakes? Check the anti-rattle springs have not rusted away or cracked, else try filing a small chamfer on the pad leading edge. Copper grease on the back of the pad and ordinary grease on the metal contact points wont go amis.

If the noise is there all the time have you checked the handbrake?

you could have reached a hard point in the pads ( usualy found in the cheaper brands ) this is where the compound has been over baked or an abundance of chemical. not a lot you can do but replace   preferably with a decent brand........ this presuming copper slip doesnt work.
