Brake noise is quite common. Most likely what you are hearing is the sound of the worn brake pads grinding against the rotors. This problem can usually be solved by a simple brake job. A trained professional will be able to listen to and inspect your brakes to inform you of exactly what your vehicle needs. Faulty brakes are a safety issue so I suggest getting this done as soon as possible.
