Default 03 Cav Noise issues from Rotors?

HI Gang
i've got an 03 cav.
When i drive, i hear a grinding noise at the same point, which sounds like its coming from the rotors. The faster i go, the faster the noise/revolutions happen. Seems to be coming from the drivers front wheels.
I went on vacation, let the car sit and when i came back, the noise started.

Thoughts?

its deff your rotors, if you change the rotors make sure you changed the pads to. I would recommend getting ceramic pads put on to, if you get semi metallic they will sweak like crazy.

Or bearings are going south. The caliper might be sticking which would makeyou notice more brake dust on the rim then normal. That's usually a sign of a sticky caliper. But don't forget the bearings as well. Might be a good idea to take the tire off & have a look.
