I have been hearing noise when I apply my brakes that sounds like an airplane flying overhead - this has only been happening for 24 hours, no other noises before this.

It’s time to see a mechanic. The brake wear indicators sometimes make a screaming noise like a jet. They do the job. In any regard…you need to have your brake pads checked.

Well, certainly someone needs to pull the wheels and check the brakes.

But they should also check the wheel bearings.
