Sure, it could be your brakes, especially since you've already had someone tell you that they need replacement.

Its most likely the audible brake pad indicators which occurs when the pads have worn down sufficiently and are in need of replacing.

So - one repair facility has told you that you were in need of brake work soon, you subsequently developed problems in that very area, and you've taken the well-advised path of having another garage take a look, which will happen in a day. Why the HELP, ASAP? Looks like if this independent garage confirms the dealer's comments you still won't trust that.
