Well, i'm going to try to explain the sounds as best i can. When i start driving there is a whining, hi-pitched sound that comes from the front of my car, it's there whenever i drive, and especially when i make right turns, when i start to depress the brake pedal, but don't actually engange the brakes fully, i hear the same sound, yet when i'm truely slowing down to a stop and have the brakes fully enganged the hi-pitched sound is gone, and things seem normal. But again once i start driving the sound comes back. I'm taking it to the mechanics tomarrow, and i'll let them look at it, but i wanted to know if anyone knows what it probably is. I'm hoping it's worn down pads, and not the Rotors, don't have that kind of money to dish out right now.

 

Sounds like the wear indicators are rubbing.

This just means you need new pads. Make sure you spend the money to have the rotors turned otherwise they will start squeaking again soon.
