Strange Sound Coming From Behind Drivers Front Tire

So lately ive been noticing a very odd noise comming from behind my drivers side front tire. Its almost like a cross between a sick cat and an old school police siren. I wanna say its something in the steering, because I hear it more when im turning the wheel then when its the wheel is stopped, plus ive noticed a very slight grab in steering wheel every once in a while. anyone got any ideas as to what it might be?

I got a great idea, pull the wheel off and take a look around. It could be a rock, rotor problem, worn out brake pad; anybodies guess until you look
