Screeching!

Sounds the same to me...have the dealer check the rotor covers. Mine was REALLY loud too.

Definitely have the dealer check the rotor if the car is still in warranty.

Well when I pulled into work the other day I heard a screeching noise coming from the rear of my car while i was cruisin <5mph. I touched the breaks and it went away. Have not heard it since. Car has 3k miles should I be concerned?

Could be faulty calipers, or surface rust on the rotors after they get wet.

This makes sense.. It was the morning after driving the car in a significant amount of snow with salt on the roads..

That does it every time, once you hit the brakes a couple times they're clean and noise free.

Ok thanks for the heads up. I would like to note though I heard this noise AFTER my drive to work. So I had used the brakes on my way to work.. Hmm I dont know. I haven't heard it since so I'm not overly worried about it.
