If the brake grinding is caused by worn down brake pads, immediate repair is vital. Once the brake pads become completely worn down, it can cause brake failure. Driving with worn down brake pads can also cause the caliper, drum or rotor damage which will end in costly repairs for the car owner. Another less common reason for brakes making a grinding noise is something becoming lodged in the caliper.
In the knee, for example, cracking or popping may occur if the patella (knee cap) is slightly out of alignment, and rubs on the adjacent tissues. Other causes of joint noise are the snapping of tendons or scar tissue over a prominence or something referred to as cavitation. Cavitation frequently occurs in synovial joints when a small vacuum forms in the synovial fluid and a rapid release produces a sharp popping or cracking sound.
