What does it mean when there is a Squeaky sound while driving but stops when you push the brakes?

squeaky sounds that go away when you push the breaks are most probably the indicators on your brake pads that squeak to let you know that they are getting worn out and need to be replaced soon also dirty brakes will chirp while driving, a thorough cleaning and lube of the proper parts usually cures this There are typically metal tabs on your brake pads that are meant to squeak when your pads start getting low. It is possible that is the cause of your squeak, check your pads, or have a mechanic check, as this is a good possibility, however not a definite.

Have your brakes checked. The front brake pads employ a small metal spring to start squealing when the pads are nearly worn out to prevent damage to the rotors. It could be making contact with the rotor, even when the brakes aren't on.

A knocking sound while your car is moving is probably coming from the engine. A certified mechanic will be able to perform diagnostic testing.
How often the brake pads need to be replace?
That depends on how the brakes are used. If you ride the brakes, do a lot of stop and go driving, fast driving with quick stops... they'll wear out a lot faster. Also, if your calipers are binding your disk brakes can wear out faster. On the other hand, if you're a "mild" driver and you keep your vehicle in good condition, disk brakes can last quite a while.
What if your car has been squeaking while driving but stops when you tap the brakes?
the brake pads are probably worn - there are wear indicators in the pads made of solid metal that scrape on the brake rotors when they are spinning. When you squeeze the pads by applying the brakes, the main part of the pads make contact and muffle the sound. pads are cheap for most vehicles and easy to replace.
