Your brake pads/linings need to be replaced. They are designed to squeak like that when they wear out to tell you they need attention. You better see to it; this is a safety issue.

If your brakes are old and they squeak, you are in trouble, that is the sound of metal on metal and you will need a whole lot more than the pads replaced. However since it only does it in reverse and occurs more often when damp there is a possibility they just need to be adjusted or tightened, OR you simply need to rotate your tires. The uneven wear due to forward and backward motion can cause the squeak. I recommend rotating your tires every time you get an oil change.

Everywhere rotors are called brake discs, except North America, why is that, as they do not rotate?

You're reading When my car is in reverse and I apply the brakes it makes a horrible squeak-like noise. It does not always happen and it seems to happen more often when it is damp outside. Should I be concerned?
