My 06 Toyota is making a high pitched sound, something like a cross between windchimes and the squealing of a ?

Maybe someone has already answered. I would be about 80% sure, you simply need brake shoes. There are wear buttons, that when you get down to a certain level, they put these little pieces of metal in the brake shoes to make noise, so you won't drive it too far. You can drive it casually if this is the case, but need to get in soon or you will ruin drums or calipers. If it is just shoes on one axle, maybe 150, if calipers 300 Just a guess. I do my own so I do brakes for $40 calipers maybe $230

Where it's an 06, it shouldn't have a sensor in it (for the brake-area)... so it will be less than if it were an 07.

Yes, it's probably the wear button on the brakes. I've had cars (various makes/models) make that same goshawful noise, and the best mechanic I know (aka Dad- he can make a gasoline car run on diesel!!) has always fixed it...

You must live very close to me. That little brat is totally awful and very disrespectful. I think we should sic THE CAT on him. Either that or one of my shotguns. No wait, It has to be a pistol so I can legally use the concealed weapon defense. "officer, I was in fear of my life and for the life of my family and other innocent bystanders. I had to "neutralize the threat"". Ya, that's it. Either that or beat him upside the head with a large somewhat limp smoked sausage. I can't stand that brat! Their rottweiler is a sweetie though! She can come and sit by me anytime she wants! Just don't bring the brat.

sounds like front brakes

could be many thinbgs but start with brakes, belts or a pulley

my honda makes the same goddamned sound

its probably your brakes like mine, which isn't too expensive
