    could be a billion things...or at least a few ;)

    pads not seated correctly, rotors, tire rubbing, dust shield rubbing against rotors, loose wheel, etc etc etc

    probably have someone check it out otherwise over the internet we're just guessing.

    My guess is that this is the dust shield rubbing against your brake rotor. I have had this happen many of times and have always thought it was something more serious. All you need to do is to take off the wheel and then pry the dust shield away from the back of your brake rotor using a screwdriver or small pry bar. It will only take about 5 minutes to do. Than try driving it again and see if the noise persists. good luck

    could be a bad wheel bearing too.

    It could also be a rock in between the rotor and caliper.

    If it's in the rear, try adjusting the ebrake too.
