Sounds more like drum brakes than disks. What is in the rear? My guess is the parking brake does not get used enough. Or maybe too much and the shoes are shot.
Can you try lightly applying the parking brake while driving? See if the pitch changes.
Disk wear indicators would change pitch as the service brakes were applied.
I believe it has disk breaks front and back. Not 100% sure, but that is what someone told me after taking a quick look.
I hadn't thought about the parking break. I will play around with it before driving and then while driving to see if it has an impact on the noise. Thanks!
