Gear Grinding Sound?
Today when i was pulling into a parking spot (I was in neutral) I was braking to stop completely and I hear a gear grinding noise. Similar to that of a helmet sliding on a sidewalk. I checked the exterior of the car to make sure that nothing was run over that could have caused the noise.. I was in neutral so I don't think that it was a gear grind? Ideas?

If you are still worried, take it to someone to look at.

Drive your car around for a bit tomorrow, then get out and put your ear under it... if it sounds like something is hitting, grinding, and things of that nature... it is probably the flywheel. It is normal on these cars.

If you weren't in gear and it was while you were braking it's most likely something to do with your brakes. If it hasn't happened since then it's definitely nothing to worry about, but if it has let us know whether it was while you were in neutral again and whether it was during any type of braking.. Shouldn't be the flywheel though, I know our cars tranny's are loud but I can't think of anything that would happen in neutral that would sound similar to a gear grind. The flywheel and throw-out bearing have a distinct sound to them that I def wouldn't relate to a helmet being scraped against the sidewalk.
Let us know if it happens again and what the conditions are..

The squeaking is a design feature to let you know they're going to be grinding pretty soon.
