Hi there:
Your boyfriend has a serious brake issue that should be repaired immediately. The loud noise is most likely coming from the brake pads grinding on the brake rotors. When he applies the parking brake, it’s only applying pressure to the rear brakes, which have not worn out completely yet. This is serious safety issue, and depending on where he lives, could be a traffic violation.
My suggestion is to let your boyfriend know that he should stop driving the vehicle immediately before he hurts himself or worse, someone else on the road. Have him contact a local ASE certified mechanic, such as one from YourMechanic, who can come to your location to complete a full brake inspection and replace the parts that are worn out.
