Start by taking a look at your brake pads. This will give you a good idea of what state your brake pads are in and if they could be the source of the squeaking.
If the brake pads look worn down, they may be the source of the squeaking. If brake pads are worn down to less than 1/4-inch thick, they need to be replaced.
Dirty brake pads can start to squeal when you use them. Even if they don't look dirty or damaged to you, take some time to clean them off and see if a build- up of dirt and debris was causing the squeaking. You can also take your car to a mechanic to have them check and clean the brake pads for you!
Another potential cause of squeaky brakes is dirty brake rotors. That's because the brake rotors work by creating friction and when they're dirty, that friction isn't as effective, leaving you with squeaking.
