I recently replaced pads and rotors all around, and now I get a high pitched squeaking sound when I apply the brakes at higher speeds which changes to a low pitched grinding sound as I slow to a stop. It is not a constant sound, meaning it only makes the sounds at one point on the wheel, and only when the brakes are applied. It doesn't make the sound when I start from a stop.

Ok, if the wheel bearing assembly was installed incorrectly the wheel would wobble and you would have a disconcerting feeling in the steering wheel. The rotors have to be within factory specs to be turned safely. What I would do is have the rotors checked with a micrometer and replaced.

could be a stone stuck in one of the calipers , sometimes driving in reverse can clear the stone.

well if they did a brake job at a shop they most likely turned the rotors, turning them if done right should fix it but, do not forget if they are to then below specifications it can cause it as well. I would check the price on new ones that is the better solution. If they are turned then they will be thinner and warp again even sooner.

Brakes & tires are best left to experts as your life depends on them. Get it fixed sooner then it won't be a big $$$$s fix.

You'll have to replace the pads and rotors....super simple!
They come off easy and the whole job is less than $100.....will cost WAAAAYYY more at a garage.
Removal & Installation
If the original rotor is still on the vehicle, it may be retained with star washers, so you must remove and discard these retaining washers.
The rotor can be removed by sliding it straight off the lug studs
