Correct answer
Have the brakes checked to identify the cause and repair what is needed.
Have the braking system inspected. Noises may result from pad or disc wear, but also from other installation or operating causes; noise alone does not establish that all parts need replacing. A spongy pedal, pulling to one side or reduced braking performance also require attention. If you cannot brake safely, stop somewhere safe and seek assistance.
