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.

A high-pitched squeaking noise while driving, unrelated to the brakes, could be caused by several factors. Common culprits include worn or loose belts, such as the serpentine belt, which can produce a squeak when under tension. Additionally, issues with wheel bearings, suspension components, or even tire noise can contribute to such sounds. It's advisable to have a mechanic inspect your vehicle to pinpoint the exact cause.

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.


If you brakes are wet should you dry the brakes by driving slowly in low gear while applying the brakes?
