Notice when the sound happens
Is it only on the first stop of the morning, only with light pedal pressure, or every time you brake? Timing helps separate temporary noise from persistent wear concerns.
Look for other symptoms
Grinding, pulsation, pulling, a soft pedal, warning lights, or reduced braking performance make the situation more important than squeal by itself.
Inspection beats guessing
Pads, rotors, calipers and hardware interact. An inspection can show what is actually worn or damaged.
