Default Scraping Nose at around 20 mph or below

at slow acceleration it does this. can't pinpoint, but it sounds like its my rear brake. also noticed when i brake, it sounds like a screetch, possibly time for new pads. any ideas? thanks

Have you looked at the brakes?

I'm not sure how you can expect us to diagnose a noise over the Internet.

The screeching could very well be the wear indicators. You need to look at the pads ASAP before they do any damage.
