Cheap brake pads will squeak when braking there not made out of the best of quality, I think its down to the ban on asbestos in the pads. Also a grove in the disc can cause a squeak.
Seen as yours is squeaking with out touching the brakes maybe the pad is to loose or maybe the pad is to tight and sticking to the disc, or maybe the sliders aren't releasing like they should, check the dust shield isint touching the disc ever so slightly.
Are you sure its defo a brake squeak?

Well, when I press the brake pedal it disappears. And it sounds like a brake squeak.
What else could it be?

I can't hear it if I do more than 30mph. Squeaks badly in 10-20 mph range.

You're clearly driving too fast. Your car is worried when you drive, and when you brake, the reassurance of your touch on its pedal eases its fears.
When people talk of great drivers having sensitivity it is to this kind of thing that they refer. It is not a crude statement about physical delicacy and feedback.
You need to get slow together again. Concentrate on clean lines through corners and maximising visibility. With time, your speeds can increase, and you'll find the relationship is deeper and more meaningful than you thought possible. When this happens, a bi-product is pure speed. You will pass by other vehicles as doth the idle wind.
Or maybe it's the caliper thing. One or the other.
