Help answer this question below.

What is the grinding sound when I'm driving my 2005 Cavalier? Some have said it was the brakes, but it grinds as I move forward, not when I brake. Others say there could be a rock lodged in my wheel? Frequency of sound increases with speed.

It's the brakes right down even though you hear the sound while moving forward!

it could be any number of things. You need to have it checked out by a mechanic. it could be anything from a rock stuck in your wheel, to a bad wheel bearing
