Sometimes it may be hard to hear these early alerts from your brakes. By having the windows rolled up or the radio too loud, you may not be aware of the squealing sound. Everyone around will hear you pulling up to the stop light, but you won’t know why they’re all staring at you. It’s a good idea to drive with your windows down occasionally. This lets you know the true condition of your vehicle’s brakes. If you continue to drive with squealing brakes, this will soon turn into a scraping sound, similar to sandpaper. There is no longer sufficient brake pad left to protect the brake rotors. This scraping sound requires your immediate attention, and will turn into a metal-on-metal grinding noise. Your vehicle is extremely dangerous for the road and will end up on the side of the road if you’re not careful. Delaying your brake repairs will do damage to other components of your braking system, like the brake rotors, calipers, drums, and more.
