well i took it to the used car dealership when i noticed it and they told me that they replaced my rotors and break pads before i got the car and that the grinding would stop after they r worn in a little or are they trying to get something over on me cuz i am a 20 year old female gosh i hate used car dealerships?

to me it sounds like your brake pads are grinding,, or your hub bearings are wearing thin,to check safely jack up the tyre of the road and with 1 hand on top of the tyre and the other on the bottom of tyre just see if you can rock the tyre back and forwards ,, if it does its the hub bearing,if you are that concern take the car to a garage,,but dont just get 1 quote get a few of them,,there are mechanics out there that will rip people off

Yeh it sounds like some bearing for you right wheel. Maybe when its cold they are not being loobed correctly or something. Either way it definately needs to be looked at because you are grinding metal somewhere so you may start running into an expensive replacement instead of a not as expensive repair.
Your breaks will not rust enough over night to cause anything close to what you are describing. Plus if that were it it would do it when you were breaking.

Does it just do it once? Now days, because of metal used in brake pads, rust will form on you rotors from the presence of moisture. This will cause a grinding sound when the car is moved, until the surface rust is worn off from driving. So when your car sits over night, mosture in the air, morning due, etc. will form the rust. As you drive your car the rust comes off. Take a look at your brake rotors in the morning and see if they look rusty.

Could be just the tire, some tires make a noise till warm up,
or could be the axle shaft, damage or need lubricant,
or shock absorber.
BUT DON'T LOOK FOR AN ANSWER HERE.
It's about your safety so better go ask a mechanic.
Have a nice day.

From this description it sounds like it might be a wheel bearing. It should be checked out before there is more serious damage.
