Most common cause is worn brake pads or linings. Exposed rivets used in manufacturing - or worse - metal-to-metal contact of the brake components are rubbing together when brake pedal is applied. This can be a very serious condition - not only affecting safe stopping, but more costly repairs for brake components damaged by the metal-to-metal contact. Other causes of brake noise could be rust, dust, or other foreign material in the brake surfaces. In either case, it is urgent that all the wheels be removed and the brakes inspected/repaired at once!
