If you have rear disc brakes, one of the rotors could be warped and causing the pads to move in the caliper. You should be able to remove one wheel at a time, lock down the rotor with the lug nuts, and put the trans in low gear or reverse to listen for the noise.
Sounds like a bad battery. A number of chain auto parts stores will check it and your charging system free. Before that, if your battery has removable caps, check the water level, if it's down, fill to the bottom of the fill rings and charge the battery, if you have a battery hydrometer, all the cells should have about the same charge level, if one or more show a lot lower than the others, battery is probably bad. Hope this helps.
Your Main Battery is Flat, get a jump start if its safe or remove the battery and hook it up to a charger. Maybe you left your lights on, or your alternator isnt charging the battery properly when your driving around. Sometimes this can be the bushes located in the alternator.
Sounds like the squeakers on the brake pads are rubbing. This is designed to make the noise you described to let you know it time to service your brakes. A brake inspection should reveal the problem

normal... as a car sits over night brake rotors get a coat of surface rust on them and in some cases the brake pad will adhere to the rotor as well. as u back up the brake will become dettached. as u back up the brake pads rub the surface rust off. and noise gose away. most of the time its 2-5 brake applications before its all gone..
on disc brakes there is a metal marker on them that when the pads get low on material it will make a squeeling noise to let you know its time to change the pads.. so I would say you are in need of front pads also even though they look good you are getting low.. this marker is designed to let you know its time before you get to metal to metal .. jerry
Sounds like rust build up on the rotors,this is a common problem with after market rotors,or it is a squealer tab and they squeal to warn you before damage is done to the rotors when brake pads are 2/3 worn down.have a brake inspection done.
