have your brake pads checked out, often they are so close to finnished that they make a noise when not applied, as soon as you apply them they press on the last bit of padding left and the noise goes away.
hiya may i suggest you inspect the front brakes pads and discs for wear and discs for damage /scoures considering age of vehicle? when was last service inspection on brakes etc? if you do not feel competant to check brakes ? quite understand you could pop along to nearest national tyres depot and ask them to check brakes as above and also driveshaft cv joints for wear as these cv joints also give clicking sound when driving tyre dpot do not usually charge to check but will try to obtain job and give you a quote! if you have diagnosis and £££££?quote ? by all means come back with update and glad to offer help and advice if you wish ? hope this helps you as to probable cause? either way repair/s will not be too expensive best wishes
Two things, in my experience, makes brakes squeal. If you can apply brakes but they don't squeal until you are nearly stopped, that's benign. The sleeves and backing of the brake pads need some special high temperature brake grease. But you can live with it. But if you get a scraping, screeching sound whenever brakes are applied and possibly to a lesser extent even when they are not applied, then the brake wear feelers are touching the brake disk. You need to get brake pads or shoes replaced soon or cause damage.
