Generally, squealing while NOT applying the brakes is the "chirper" or the metal tang rubbing the rotor. Typically, applying light pressure to the brake petal will make the squeal or chirping sound stop. This means your brake pad lining is thin and about to wear out.
If you hear/feel a "scrubbing" sound while applying the brakes, generally the lining has worn away enough that some of the backing plate of the brake pad is rubbing on your rotor... This is BAD!
Changing brake pads on disc brakes is one of the easiest repairs you can make to your automobile. Most automotive parts stores have 'lifetime warranted' pads, so you buy them once and every replacement afterwards is free. Of course, your labor is not included...
However, brakes are a safety issue and you are not mechanically inclined or little or no experience, please consult a qualified mechanic.

Troubleshoot squealing and grinding noise from 1995 Nissan Maximum?
Your question is vague, but since you used the words "squealing/grinding" I first start to look at the brakes. The squealing could be coming from your brake pads. Some brake pads come with a safety mechanism that alerts to when the brake pads are nearing replacement time. If you ignore that squealing then it turns to a grinding because there ain't no brake pad left. At this point, you're now looking at replacing the rotors as well as the pads. Rule of thumb is that if one side is bad then the other is just as bad or not far behind it.
