I have found the better the brakes the noisier they seem to be, an ok trade off. On our 997 Turbo they are pretty quiet until they get dusty (steel reds) which is after 4-5 days or so without a bath.

Normal. Tip to help increase duration after each wash before the squeeling comes back:
When cleaning your wheels, try also applying wheel cleaner (via the same soft cloth or pad used to clean your wheels) on the surface of the vented discs. You won't be able to reach the entire disc b/c of the pads cover 1/3, but just wipe whatever you can easily reach and gently wash clean with plenty of water.
I started trying this with Griot's wheel cleaner and soft pads to make sure I got off as much brake dust from as many surfaces as possible during each wash, and it made a noticable improvement.
