i have a 2002 Acura MDX. It recently started making a squeeky noise that I notice as it bounces off other cars and buildings when I drive by. It actually gets better when I apply the brakes. Any thoughts on its origins and what I should do to address it?

Sounds like the brake wear indicator. Have your brakes checked out.
