help me with these noises PLEASE!

alright heres the problems. i got an s5 N/A and i got two seperate obnoxious sounds goin on

1) when the car sits for a while and i drive it again, the wheels will squeek loudly right when i take off and will get faster as the speed of the car does and eventually goes away. there have been a few other threads on this but no conclusions in any

2) ive realized when i brake, there is a single clunk that happens and can be felt in the brake pedal and the floor of the car. rotaryrocket suggested it might be a mount which is possible. it doesnt affect the car in any way that i know of

any help on these will be GREATLY appreciated

surface rust buildup or take the front brakes off and inspect.

this squeak might be the pads or shoes. next time u here it, put ur foot on the brake pedal and see if the squeak stops. check this first so when u pull the wheels u can also check to see if there's anything loose causing the clunk. if the front pads have those metal tabs that rub the rotor when they get low, they may also be causing the squeak and with high spots or warped rotor causing the symptoms u described.
