Default Metal screeching at HIGH rpms?

First time I heard this I was haulin balls back down from the mountains bringing my buddy to the hospital, and it just sounds like metal grinding, I think it was the engine, and I'm not really sure what it means lol? I heard it the other day again unconciously dropping the clutch after gettingl ike 3 days of sleep, my carpooler to school told me it sounds like a piston rubbing but idk?

Detonation from preignition sounds like metal screetching.
