Why are my front brakes whistling?

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.

Can a bad caliper cause brakes to squeak?

Sticking caliper or wheel cylinder: A sticking caliper can cause the pads to be continuously forced against the rotor, creating a grinding or squealing noise. You’ll also want the pads and rotors, or shoes and drums, inspected for damage and replaced as needed.

Why are my brakes making a whining noise?

Most brake noise is caused by worn or loose parts. For example, an unevenly worn rotor (often referred to as “warped”) won’t let the brake pads press flat against the rotor when you apply the brakes, and that can create vibrations that generate noise. In addition, loose or sticking calipers can contribute noise.
