A squeel- but many DO NOT have wear indicators so will not make any sound at all until they are gone and they grind tearing up your rotors. It's easy to check them. When car is parked and they are cool, feel them through your wheels holes. If the pad material is thinner than the backing plate its attached to-it's time for new pads.

What does a squeaking sound that starts when the car is in motion and speeds up when the car accelerates mean?

Have your brake pads checked. If the squeaking sound stop when you apply the brakes it may be your brake pad wear indicators rubbing the rotors to warn you to have your brake pads replaced. If you ignore it damage will result when the rotors and metal brake pad backing or rivets rub after the brake pad linings are worn away.

Most often caused by a lack of brake pad material. When the material gets very low on the pad (almost to the point of having none), a metal tab (attached to the pad) vibrates on the rotor indicating the need of replacement brake pads.
