There could be a few things that cause this. The best thing to do is to lift the car and inspect the front wheel areas. Pay particular attention to the drive axles and the actual boot seals that go around the joints. If there are any rips in the boots with grease sprayed all over the place, this would more than likely be the problem. You will have to remove the joint, clean it to inpsect it to see if it just needs repacking and a new seal or complete replacement. If all the joint boots look okay, grab a hold of the axle and see if it is loose inside the trans. or inside the joint, if so you will have to repair as nec. If all this looks good, try twisting on the front wheels to check for looseness. Looseness can be in the form of loose wheel nuts or bad front wheel bearings. If there is looseness in the bearings, you will have to replace them. If these seem okay, rotate the wheels to see if the bearings are growling which would also mean you would need to replace the bad one. Also be sure that there are no rocks jammed in by the brakes as this can cause one hell of a noise. If this is as loud as it sounds, this should be very easy to find. Good luck.

Tough to say without hearing it.. Where is the sound coming from? Front? Rear? Left side? Right side? Is it constant? Only when breaking? Can you feel it in the steering wheel? Give us a little more info on what you're hearing, we'll be able to help you a little more. It could literally be one of a hundred things.
***************************************
Okey dokey.. right front, wheel area I'm assuming? It could be a wheel bearing, definately a possibility. Though normally when a wheel bearing goes bad, it's more of a whirling noise than a grinding noise. If it's louder when turning, I'm almost inclined to consider that it could be something in the steering, or possibly in the suspension. Tie rod, maybe. Or even if the axle boot is torn and got some dirt in it. I'd suggest taking it to a local shop, as they tend to be a little less pricey than dealerships. It sounds like something they'd be able to pinpoint relatively quickly. You definately want to get it figured out soon though, especially if it becomes louder or more consistant. You don't need a wheel flying off while you're driving.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Good luck!

Mine did the same element. it really is an older Gateway 866 Meghz , thats not even a million Gighz ! ( yea sounds slow yet with 394mb RAM and no ad/secret agent ware and wiped clean cookies and internet temp records it surfs great and videos positive ) in any case, it used to make this awfull loud grinding sound yet not always. it would want to initiate and bypass for a lengthy time period and then when I were given used to ignoring it i might want to swiftly observe it had stopped. It merely those days went away for solid, hasn't performed it considering that and the only element i did develop into open up the case and promises it a thurough blowing with the can of dirt Remover Spray from the computer keep. Now the position it got here from ? i'm having a wager it develop into the capacity source, because - it really is the only position in finished darn element there's a fan ! there is not any cpu fan in this device, it has a huge gaudy searching dissimilar fingered warmth sink element that sticks little cooling palms way out into the case to dispurse warmth and that i wager the fan contained in the capacity source is meant to move adequate air to keep that element cool. and that i did not spray any enormous volume of dirt off the demanding stress besides the indisputable fact that the capacity source ? My goodness, might want to-a-thaught there develop into an finished civilisation of dirt mites set up in there finished with monorails and sky scrapers there develop right into a lot dirt. Open 'er up and promises it a sprig! that is worth a shot ! Hasn't made that noise considering that I did and that i did not something else to it ! solid success and allow us comprehend what occurs !

If the pitch of the noise changes when turning, it is definitely a wheel bearing.

my first idea is the wheel bearing or hub. try jacking up the car and spining the wheels by hand. can you hear the sound now . if the noise is in frequent as you turn it that may be your wheel.

CV joints make those comfy sounding noises when they go bad at around 100K miles. Also get your bearings greased when you get those done.
