When you take the caliper and rotor off this is whats left. Spin it by hand and you'll be able to feel catching, grinding, or movement up and down side to side.

The car brakes fine but i was just thinking that maybe the calipers were sticking this whole time...and dragging on the rotors to make this constant sound..how do you fix that(calipers sticking)? thanks~Chris

Stuck caliper... hard to turn the roter by hand if at all, and there usually is uneven wear on the roter. To fix it, get a new cailper.
