Front or rear? I would start with the brake pads which will grind like you have mentioned.

Here is a guide to help understand grinding noises:

Here is how to change out the front brake pads and rotors and a guide to help you raise the car up and remove the tires for inspection.

Read these guides completely before beginning. Here is how the front brakes are done. Check out the images (below). Please upload a video in your response to the noise so I can tell for sure what's going on, it takes time to upload so please be patient.
