   Either stone in your calipers or you have worn your pads out and its metal to metal = get new pads quick before you warp the discs.

   Either way worth getting it looked at as new pads are alot cheaper than pads & discs ;-)

   take your pads out and if both pads and discs seem ok then just give them a good going over with some brake cleaner and a wire brush.
