The question
I drive a 2015 Toyota Yaris Hybrid and there's a grinding noise when braking. It's very annoying. Have you come across this before?

Hi David,
I'm very surprised to hear that such a new car has a grinding noise under braking. That would usually suggest that the brake pads are down to the metal, which is highly unlikely in your case unless something is very wrong. As your Yaris must be still under warranty I'd urge you bring it straight to your nearest Toyota dealer for an inspection.
Please do let us know how you get on
