i ussually hear it when i been driving the car for about and hour straight, by this time the car is hot enough. when ever i press on the brake i makes a weird noise. when i bought the car it made the same noise but i thought it was the brakes... and well it needed brakes so i put in some new pads. i checked everything. there are no leaks no dragging. there are no loose obects.i usually hear this noise when im comming to a full stop or when im slowing down to park.

Check the pads and shoes. If the pads are in good shape, pull the calipers and spray the pads with a brake cleaning solvent. Do the same for the rears.

i forgot to mention that when the car is hot enough. or better yet when the brake discs are hot enough it starts making the noise. but not only when i press on the brakes... sometimes its when im making a sloww turn.. when im turning the wheel and pressing on the brakes at a sloww speed. thats when it makes the noise.

Yes, it could be something loose in the suspension. Check to see if the wear indicator spring on the pads are contacting the rotor.
