I'm gonna assume the train sound is the metal of the pads grinding on your rotors. Buy some slotted or cross drilled rotors. depending on what kind of mx3 you have you could buy slotted or cross drilled rotors for the rear but some mx 3;s have rear drum brakes. I think just the 4 cyclinders but i am not sure. Also buy stainless steel brake lines. I;m guessin you could get most of this for around $300 us. assuming you do all the work yourself.

carefull driving around with your brakes that bad.
