on newer volvos, and many other cars, the grinding you might hear is simply the sound the brake pads make when they rub against the brake rotor. if you let off the brake slowly, then its purely the slight friction between the two causing the sound. i too have an s60 and have heard this before. dont worry about it. the s60 is a heavy car and the brakes are under a lot of pressure

That is the sound of metal on metal. I suggest you immediately take your car to a mechanic and have the brake pads replaced before you cause too much damage to the discs.

The noise is the teeth on the flywheel grinding on the teeth of the starter. Check to see if the starter is loose, this is the most common cause of that noise.
