Default metal on metal grind on hard braking or engine brakin

I hear a noise when i decel hard on my car and i really cant figure out what it is. It sounds like a metal on metal almost clinging or grinding.

One of my friends said it might be a wheel bearing. What are symptoms and sounds associated with them.

Honestly the first few times i heard the sound ithought it was my driveshaft rubbing the safety loop if that describes what it sounds like but there is plenty of clearance on it.

first thing I also thought was a wheel bearing. when the front end gets loaded like that, it's a lot of extra weight over the front axle.
