Strange Noise while driving

Driving yesterday and while going 15-30mph i hear this very loud metal grinding noise coming from the front wheels. It sounds like metal is being dragged on the ground or metal being scraped up against something in maybe the brakes. When driving faster the noise get louder and then I heard a loud can crashing thud also coming from the front of the car and then it all went away. I though maybe wheel bearings but ad them replaced about 30K miles ago unless they can just go bad at anytime. I dont know where to start as the sounds were pretty bad. The car drives fine at the moment.

Sounds like something slid between the brake caliper and

the wheel. Look for marks in the inner front wheels.

sounds right to me too. In my 911SC I've picked up a spike which blew out the left rear tire in the rain on the 280 at about 80 mph, and a small pebble which jammed the front a/c condenser fan which then overheated and started on fire. no s___. hope this one works out ok for you. actually sounds like it might have been a beer can that got caught up in there.

Just a crazy thought, but perhaps some trim fell off. It can make a real noise while it drags, but will eventually let go. Perhaps that explains why is was making a noise and has now gone. Have a quick check that major trim pieces on the underside are still there.

Could be a rock stuck between the brake dust shield and the brake rotor...I had that happen on my front driver side and it sounded terrible!
