My vehicle just started making a noise when I am driving and I hear it most when I am speeding up or slowing down. It is coming from the front tire area and it is like its grinding or rubbing, I do not think I have a rock lodged anywhere and if I am driving for long periods during the day the sound gets louder and you hear it more often.

I am very concerned as I do not want to be stuck on the side of the road, and this is not normal for my vehicle. I just had the brake pads redone. I have no idea what the sound could be. Help! :(

and I do not have 211 million miles it has 211,535.259 miles.
