I have a 2003 Honda Accord. When I go in reverse, my car begins to make this weird sound. I have taken off the brakes and my rotors and brake pads are fine. What could be causing this sound? Could it be something else besides the brakes?
It is more of a high pitched squeaking sound . At first we thought that it might be a rock in the brake so it kind off sounds like that.

Since the brakes are disc brakes, you're probably hearing one of the "screamers," a metal projection riveted to the body of one of the brake pad assemblies. It is designed to contact the rotor, when the pad has worn down to the point of needing replacement. Though you say the pads are "fine," they sometimes wear at different rates (due to varied brake cylinder pressure, etc., etc.). You don't want to try to use every bit of the brake pad material as: a) the thinner pads become less effective at absorbing/dissipating heat; and b) you risk wearing them down to the metal backings, which will damage the rotors.
Best advice: change the pads. Be safe.

Ok theres this thing. Its called a tire squealer. Look in your right rear brake reservoir for a small device that looks like a circuit board with a speaker on it. Take it out, and be sure to Disconnect the brake line. Thatll make your wheels spin free, to stop the squeak. Dont worry about the stuff that comes out of the brake line. Thats like blood when you get a cut. If you lose some, itll re-make itself. Happy braking!

It feels like your brake pads could be of the metallic form which will each and every each and every now and then squeal. It additionally might desire to be the brake pad placed on warning gadget which you hear.this might nicely be in simple terms a splash metallic linked to the pad and whilst the pad wears right down to a changeble point, the piece of metallic will rub against the brake rotor or drum. it would desire to be a brake spring that has broken and is rubbing. there's a "water safeguard" that retains water from sloshing into the brake pad section. this might nicely be a skinny piece of metallic and each each and every now and then through fact of hitting some thing interior the line it would desire to alter into bent and is rubbing on your wreck hub. be certain, the terrific you could, which wheel is inflicting the noise. verify the pads/shoes and notice how worn they are. final, in simple terms look decrease than your automobile and notice while you're dragging a limb or some thing you picked up on the line.

indicator on the pad saying that it is getting close to being time to change. Or this indicator could just be bent. A little grease on the back side of the pad where the caliper presses may stop this if not the indicator.

That's brake. Drive and push the brake petal to check it out.
