Screeching sound when I brake on snow sometimes on dry street when I brake hard
So when I brake on snow this loud screeching sound happens, it does no sound like medal to medal I checked the brake pads & they were good I can’t figure out where the noise is coming from sometimes it will happen on a dry street & I brake & turning into a dip I can’t figure it out I would appreciate your help.

What kind of car is this?
Does it have ABS? TCS? VSA?
Kinda sounds like an electric motor squealing.

If you wish to prove the noise is from the ABS system, disable the system so the pump cannot operate then drive it again in the same manner as before--confirm no noises along with lots of uncontrollable skidding.....
BUT STAY AWAY FROM TRAFFIC because it would seem you have been driving far too fast for slippery road conditions this entire time, and without the ABS enabled to save your *** you could crash and burn and kill innocent victims
Quit trying to slide around in the snow, put good tires under it, drive in a safe and sane manner, and the pump won't make noise if it's not running constantly.
