    I’m not sure what the deal is with my breaks. The other night it
    rained pretty badly and the next morning it sounded like there was
    water moving around in my breaks somehow. Now it sounds like my breaks
    are frozen and like I’m dragging something. I’m not dragging anything,
    so I didn’t know if my breaks a frozen? Should I take it in. My breaks
    seem to work fine though, it’s just a horrible noise.

    You've probably got some rust on your rotors. Take your car out somewhere
    safe and make some really hard stops (almost locking the wheels) from
    about 40 MPH. MAKE SURE no one is behind you. About three of these stops
    and you'll have removed any surface rust. If the noise continues, you
    should take it and have it looked at.
