My experience with Kool Stop salmon pads (which I use on most of my bikes) is that even when the toe-in is set correctly, they squeal when they are new. Usually for the first 10-20 miles. Then they tend to settle in and quiet down. If the toe is set wrong, they will squeal relentlessly. Either they will quiet down shortly on their own, or you just need to tweak the toe-in a bit.
