Default Noise after long downhill mountain drive

So I was driving 3 miles down from the top of the Mountain this afternoon and I first started hearing this new noise.
I have driven take this drive like 4-5 times a day at least and never had this happen.
about 2 miles down is when this started to happen. almost sounded like a high pitch squealing noise could also be mistaken perhaps for the noise that happens when Brake pads are squealing but it was not when breaking it was both braking and accelerating perhaps like metal on metal. no matter how fast or slow I was driving. also hear some weird noise when turning at slow speed when doing 4 point turn to turn around in a tight street. but then started driving off and about a half-mile down the road it all got better fine no more noise.
At first, I was thinking like oh **** I hope its nothing with the Hybrid system then im thinking could it be the brake pads just go so damm hot on the drive down but my rotors don't feel warped and does not shimmy or shake at all when braking anyone got any info for me on this, please.
I am going to the dealership Tuesday I set up an appointment online to take it on Tuesday morning but waiting a day to get the possibility of an answer is just going to make me wonder more what the hell could it possibly be.
its my 2016 ES300h with 67k miles on it
