they need replaced

In some cases when the brake pad wear indicators start touching the brake rotors they will squeak until pressure is applied. Depends on brake pad material and condition of rotors. I would have your brakes inspected. Sometimes one side of the brake caliper can freeze up and not release the pad away from the rotor causing squeak until you hit the pedal.

That's a built in indicator that tells you the brake pads are getting low. You'll need to take the car into a repair place to get new brake pads (chain stores require sharpening of the rotors at the same time).

Did you just get new brakes??? that could be a part of it or those brakes are going bad and the squeaking/grinding type sound you are hearing is the warning sound for them...take the car to a mechanic and ask them to check your brakes...

Brake pads have what they call squeal indicators on them that's a small piece of metallic linked to the brake pad so as that once the brakes get to point of aspiring to get replaced the metallic will touch the brake rotor and make a noisy squeal. bypass have your brakes checked at a storage they positively must be replaced.

Are you sure it's your brakes squeaking? Sounds like it may be your tires. It would make sense for them to squeak less when you apply the brake.

That sounds like the audible wear indicator on your brake pads is rubbing. If these are old brakes, your best bet is to have your brakes checked as soon as possible. If you leave it too long you could damage your brake calipers. That could mean major bucks to repair.

almost guarantee you need new pads. When you push on the brake pedal the pads push against the rotors causing the squealer to move away from the rotor. When you release the brakes the pressure is removed from the squealer and it rides against the rotors again telling you the pads are worn.

sounds like brakes to me; the wear indicator will make constant noise until you apply the brakes. Replace your brake pads.

All brakes squeak, but they squeak at different frequencies some you can hear

Replace them. There is a small metal tab on them to alert you to worn brakes by rubbing on the rotor lightly emitting a chirp. When you apply your brakes, the pressure is too much to chirp.
