You know ... I'm wondering if, at 74,000 miles, I'm about due for resurfacing. (And then there's the weird bird-like chirping I hear from the rear brakes when I first drive off in the morning -- with the brakes unapplied -- as if a caliper wasn't releasing correctly.) Eh, I'm no brake expert, that's for sure.
Yep, "super-high-pitched squeal" would be it
Sound from the back could be the emergency brake not fully releasing or, as you've noted, the caliper not releasing correctly.
