RE: brake pads
if the friction material is thin (a couple mm) then you need new pads. most likely the pads are semi metallic which could be your noise. or it could be a pad wear indicator. when you check pad thickness, check ALL of the pads. sometimes the inner pads wear faster than the outers.

RE: brake pads
Take off the wheel. Look at the caliper, there is a little hole in the middle of the caliper that will allow you to look at the pads w/o removing the caliper. If it looks like there is little friction material it is time for new pads.
