What causes intermittent squeaky brakes?
Braking hard causes your brake pads to wear down more quickly as well as causes heat to warp your brake discs and rotors – all of which cause your brakes to start squeaking. Overall, noticing squeaking brakes from your vehicle is a sure sign that it’s time for an inspection and service.

What causes a high pitched intermittent squeal while driving?
My vehicle is a Lexus IS250 with almost 140k miles. I’m getting an intermittent squealing from one of the wheels while driving. It’s very high pitched, not a rumble, and intermittent: it comes and goes, chirping several times a second, occasionally lasting for a couple of seconds.

Squealing and squeaking noises are trying to tell you there is a problem. An engine squeal, screeching or squeaking noise is usually one of the few things that can be wrong.

Why does my left wheel squeal when I Turn Left?
Now don’t change speed but turn sharply to the left. If the noise gets softer or it’s pitch goes down, the bad bearing is likely on the left, as by turning left you’re making the left wheel go around slower, which should make a bad bearing go down in pitch, and you’re putting less weight on the left side, which strains the left bearing less.

Why does my car make a squealing noise when I drive?
Worn Out Brake Pads The most common reason for squealing when driving is worn out brake pads. When the pads have their upper surface scraped, the metal underneath is exposed, which causes the squealing when they come in contact with other surfaces. Stuck pins in brake caliper assembly can also cause a squealing sound.

What makes a high pitch squeal when you hit the breaks?
I have been getting a high pitch squeal noise from the front passenger wheel. It starts to make the noise when I hit about 30mph and does not change when I hit the breaks but goes away when I drop below 25-30mph. I brought it in to be looked at and the mechanic said something must be stuck in between the pads and rotors.
