Why is my Audi A6 making a strange noise when I press on the brakes?

I recently noticed that whenever I press on the brakes, my Audi A6 makes a strange noise that I've never heard before. It almost sounds like a high-pitched squeal. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

Hi Max, it sounds like your brake pads may be worn out and need to be replaced. It's normal for brake pads to make a noise when they are worn down. I recommend taking your car to a certified mechanic to have them inspected and replaced if necessary.

Hey Max, another possibility is that there could be debris or dirt caught in your brakes. If this is the case, it can easily be cleaned out, so I suggest taking your car to a car wash and using the high-pressure hoses to clean out the brakes. If the noise persists, then it may be a more serious issue.

Hi Max, another common cause of strange noises when pressing on the brakes is rotor damage. If the rotors are warped or uneven, it can cause your brakes to make unusual sounds. I recommend taking your car to a mechanic and having the rotors checked and replaced if necessary.
