What are some reasons why a car would make a screeching metal sound?

What is your question?

It is not my breaks because when I apply my brakes(usually) the sound stops. It is very loud and I am going to be taking it in soon but it would help if I had at least an idea of what it could be. The sounds seems to be coming from the middle/back of my car. Thanks for any help

ACTUALLY IT PROBABLY IS YOUR BRAKES. THE SOUND YOU HEAR IS, MOST LIKELY, THE WARNING INDICATOR ON THE BRAKE PADS. WHEN YOU APPLY THE BRAKES THE "SQUEAKER" DOES NOT RUB ON THE ROTOR DUE TO PAD DEFLECTION. THIS IS JUST ONE SCENARIO, OTHERS ARE POSSIBLE.

Hmmmm........If stepping on the brakes IS the only thing that affects the noise..............Hmmmmmmm.and when it's making the noise , it has a cyclical rythm along with wheel speed?............Hmmmm.......never mind......

If you think it is the brakes, it sounds like the brakes, it seems like the brakes, it happens when you press the brakes...then it IS THE BRAKES!
