I am hear this high pitch noise mainly when I start my car, begin accelerate then come to a complete stop. The noise goes as I ride the brake by coming to a complete stop but after I accelerate more I dont hear it anymore. I also hear it when I travel a far distance and then use my brakes. I check my brake pads and my rotors and their both good.

When you say you check the pads and rotors, how exactly did you check them?

Based on when you are hearing this noise, I suspect it is a brake noise. So, we need to dig further on this and find out for sure if this is related to the brakes. I suspect the brakes are dragging and if they are, then the noise you are hearing is most likely the wear indicators.

Here are some guides that will help with this:

I am attaching the info below on how to change the brakes and if these brakes pads measure anywhere close to 3mm then we need to go ahead and change them.

Let's run through this info and let me know what you find. Thanks
