New day, new noise. What’s this grinding noise while driving? Not while braking.

Jack up that wheel. Grab the tire with both hands at 6 o'clock and 12 o'clock positions and see if you can get any play or movement out of it. Then do the same placing your hands at 9 and 3. I would wager you have a wheel bearing starting to go. My '12 was doing the same thing but I didn't have any noise at speed, which I would normally expect with a failing wheel bearing. Instead I had what you're describing.

Every couple of years the idiots at our town's maintenance department think it's a good idea to "tar and gravel" our street.
It never fails that one of my vehicles picks up a pebble from their mess and it gets trapped between the rotor and the dust shield......grinding.
It always takes removing the rotor to get it out.
