When the pads are installed correctly, they wear indicators will not squeak with no applied brake pressure, plus that would not explain why they only squeak at 60mph and up. If it is somewhat quiet, it is your hybrid motor completely taking over. Its cruise and therefore does not need the power from the gas engine.
