Why is my car whistling when I brake?
When the brakes are applied, the warning noise goes away because the indicator has now been forced against the brake rotor and is not able to vibrate, causing this whistling noise. Brake squeal is caused by vibration between the brake pads, rotors, and calipers.
Why does my car whistle when the brakes are on?
The outer caliper is usually placed on the carrier and held in place by the caliper (most car brakes are single piston, and the entire caliper can slide on pins to give clamping force on both sides of the disk). Because the outboard pads are basically loose, they can vibrate and whistle or hum.
Why does my car make a squealing noise when I hit the brakes?
My car has an automatic transmission. In all likelihood, the brake pad wear sensors are just beginning to contact the brake rotors. This will create a loud squealing sound that may change pitch, or stop completely when the brakes are applied. Have a certified technician inspect the brakes for noise as soon as possible.

What to do when your car whistles and whistles?
Because the outboard pads are basically loose, they can vibrate and whistle or hum. Some pads have anti vibration stuff stuck to the back of the pad, or you can get greases (copper slip, mintex cera-tec etc) that add some damping to stop the vibration making a noise.
How can I stop the squeal from my car caliper?
Some pads have anti vibration stuff stuck to the back of the pad, or you can get greases (copper slip, mintex cera-tec etc) that add some damping to stop the vibration making a noise. This link (not embedded the image as it’s on someone else’s forum) shows where I’d be greasing on a typical car caliper set up.

Where does the brake go on a car?
It does all four. Every wheel has to be braked to be road legal. The in board pads are usually clipped to the caliper piston. The outer caliper is usually placed on the carrier and held in place by the caliper (most car brakes are single piston, and the entire caliper can slide on pins to give clamping force on both sides of the disk).
