you should take it in.

Your brake pads are down to the metal

Metal on metal = gashes on the rotor.

Your going to need new brake pads and rotors.

If your lucky, it could just be the wear indicator on the pad scraping the rotor, no harm done, just replace the pads.

Run your fingernail down the rotor… not up down. if your fingernail gets stuck then your need new rotors.
