    There's only one way to find out.....yank the wheel(s) and see what's going on. My cars' brakes are making a similar sound, but that's because my rear pads are paper thin.

    Time to do some maintenance.

      Most likely needs pads on one end, or both.
      Check it out before the rotors are ruined.

        if you havent checked your pads do that... if they are ok.. check the surface of the rotors.. if there are deep scratches in them you'll need to get new ones or get the old ones resurfaced
