Your brakes might make many noises, so what do they mean and should you be worried? While not a perfect way of understanding how they’re holding up, some sounds might be hints.You’re likely familiar with squealing, which means it’s time for new brake pads. Rattling indicates something is warped or worn and also signals you to head in for a checkup.
Grinding is not a normal sound and usually means you should get your brakes checked. However, if you only hear it first thing in the morning, it may just be rust rubbing off from the rotors — avoid corrosion by parking in dry areas whenever possible.
If you notice other sounds, then something deeper is possibly happening. Your brakes may be overheating, or another more serious issue might be developing, so head for a professional inspection to find out for sure.
