inconsistent brake squeaking, only happens with light brake

Hi I have experienced a situation a couple thousand miles ago. My rear brakes start to make a squeaking noise when brake lightly. Hard brakes (brake pedal all the way down) are completely silent. Light brakes (<1/3 brake down) makes a high pitch noise. This is also much more frequent at low-medium speed (30-50 mph). When brake over 60mph, this rarely happens. This also only happen in the first few brakes in a period of time.

For example, I drive on freeway (>70mph), no noise--> hard brake into ramp, no noise) --> drive on local roads (~40mph), lots of noise on light braking --> continue to drive on local roads (more than 4-5 stops later), noise goes away.

Brake pads not brand new but should still have some life left. No visible wear/loose on brake clips.

Any insight?

Thanks
