I have a 2006 Honda Accord that just started squeaking while I am driving and sometimes it sounds like a horn blowing, then when I hit the brakes it stops. Help ---

If it really just squeaks while driving, you front pads are worn out. This is the warning that they are low, and you should have them replaced ASAP. ---

Sounds like the brake pad wear indicators are telling you to have the brakes checked. ---

my wife’s 2004 honda accord sounded like this. 4 door ex-l. had 4 wheel disc. the back ones were shot and had hit the sensors. This happened at maybe 65K or so. You need a cheap tool (maybe 8 bucks) to turn the caliper piston back in. got mine at autozone as it was a 6 sided block with different pins for different brakes. I’ve been told the backs go 2x faster in 4 wheel disc than 2 disc/2 drum.
