Buzzing / Grinding in Front Wheel Well
So I've had this buzzing / grinding type of sound coming from my front driver side wheel well i think... I thought it would be my brakes squealing cause of a low pad but I looked today and the pad seemed like it still was good but prob needs changing soon.
The buzzing sound is pretty much always on when i first start driving and when I brake it squeals sometimes but not always. After a few minutes it will go away and come back and go away as I'm driving. The sound isnt always there, just at times, and it doesnt squeal always when I brake, just once in a while. Its almost totally random when I hear the noise.
I took the wheel off today and took a look and nothing looked off to me. Any ideas other than just trying to replace the pads and see what it is? I guess I may just have to take it in to see what it is.
One more sound I get, when I reverse the car i have some sort of rubber type of sound rubbing / squealing?? It lasts a few seconds but makes the car sound like a old beat up car or something... any ideas what that would be?
Thanks.

so i've been doing some reading and seems like its a possible seized caliper? or partially-seized caliper...
i checked the dust shield today and it was fine... the rotor also had some grooves in it which makes sense if the caliper is partially seized causing it to eat at the rotor...
