What can this be? Ok, so every time it gets warm out, this sounds comes back. The whole winter it was gone, but now it came back. Its coming from my rear driver side wheel. It literally sounds like metal on metal scraping, almost identical to a cricket rubbing its legs together. I was riding on 16s last summer and it did this. I switched to 17s, and it kind of did it, but I didn't have the wheels long enough in the heat to really know. Right now I'm back to 16s that I am borrowing while i'm waiting for the tires for my prostars. The noise is extremely loud, and it gets even louder when I am braking. What could it be?

It could be your e-brake. I had this problem a couple of years ago. Take off your rotors and clean up the e-brake a little, there could be a lot of dirty and dust built up in there.
