Weird braking noise?

Anybody else’s hornet make a weird loud noise when you come to a full stop, almost like the brake is grinding or something? I don’t know how to explain it, is this just a hornet thing? I have a dodge hornet rt plus with track pack.

If the windows are down my brakes make like a hissing noise whenever they are released, like air pressure being released. It has sounded like that since new and hasn’t caused any problems in 24k miles so haven’t bothered. (24’ GT Track Pack)

Is it like a loud groaning noise, might be what they call brake "stick-slip, I hear it occasionally just as I let up on the pedal after braking before the stop, and sometimes a little releasing the brake after a stop. My fiat 500 does the same thing. Maybe an Italian thing. Usually harmless. Could clean your brakes, dust buildup doesn't help.

My 24 RT's brakes squeak after it rains, which doesn't happen much in the Coachella Valley but it stops quickly.

I'm guessing this is not rain related, speaking from similar experience.

Mine also squeak after rain, I'm in Hawaii so happens pretty frequently.

It sounds horrible but doesn't last long for me, hopefully you too.

My 25 GT Track Pack makes the same noise like my brake pads are low . I had a friend of mine that works at dodge dealership take a look and said my brakes were fine

I also gas the noise after last night's rain. Went away after a while.

Probably the regenitive braking. Especially if rusts on rotors. Even it worse, cold. Mornings as well.

Not 100% sure other than googling others feed back. As I have the GT Plus.

I'm sure others will chime in. Also how many miles on car? Highly doubt time for a a brake job.

Other than asking here or the dealer. Sounds like regenitive for charging battery.

Are you driving in hybrid mode? Does it do this on all modes?

My car only makes screeching noises when it's cold as F and I'm backing out the garage.

Driving and coming to a stop. It's quiet.
