I just noticed last night that when I brake, I hear a grinding noise that sounds like it's coming from the front wheels. It is only audible at lower speeds when braking and sort of alternates between loud and quiet as the wheel spins. If anyone has any clue as to what this could be, I would be thankful. If you need more info, let me know.

Get your brakes checked ASAP! If your pads are worn, the backing will grind your disc putting gashes/grooves into the surface. Then you will have to replace or machine the discs in addition to new pads.

how can the caliper be touching the rotor?? you either need new pads or the back dust cover behind the rotor is bent and touching the rotor...

If it was the dust cover it would be grind all the time not just when he applies the brake, gotta be the pads.

Its pointing to the metal shims that position the pad on the caliper

It could also be the caliper is bad or sticking mine is doing that on my new 3g, it has happend on my other 2 accords. Basically when u drive it keeps pressure on the pads. My DX that i had got so bad it would pull to one side and hang up real bad.
