   Like the title says. my breaks are making crowning noises lol kinda like a bus.
   
   my breaks pads and discs are all fine on both ends of the car.
   
   i cant think of what might be causing this.
   
   the noise only happens when i break at a really slow speed and wen im mocing at like 2mph with no breaks applied. but is fine all the other time. and doesnt affect the breaking either just sounds like a double decker is coming
   
   someone please help me.

   Sounds like your discs are warped.

   nah, my mate said it is my breaks get stuck and dont release after i lift foot off pedal. this causes the growning. or like Morgzc said, they are warped.
   
   What is best way to go about fixing this?

   Have you actually jacked it up yet? You might find you've got play in the wheel bearing... take the calliper off and then spin the wheel. Shouldnt make any noise, at all.
