Most likely the metal tab used to warn you when the brake pad is low is now touching the rotor telling you it's time for new ones

The people that gave you those previous answers obviously don't know what there talking about. I know more than they do and they are only 16. When you hear a noise when you apply the brakes it either means that you have alot of brake dust built up or that your brake pads are getting thin. On most newer brake pads they have a metal tab and where it starts coming into contact with your rotor it means that your pads are down and need to be replaced. If it squeaks when you press the gas it means that you must have the brake pads dragging on the rotor because a piston in the caliper is not releasing. That might be able to be fixed with a c clamp and some oil. If not you might have to replace the caliper and depending on the car thats not cheap. Take it to a reputable shop and see what they say.

It could be that the plunger piston is sticking and needs the seals renewing ....but as it's the brakes and therefore a grave safety issue why not get it checked out and all parts serviced by experts.

sounds like a front suspension problem, get it checked out, could be a bad ball joint or just a bad sway bar bushing.
