You may have a problem with the wheel bearing that is noisy when you have weight of the vehicle on it. If the noise is a constant grinding noise, then it is most likely the bearing. If the noise is only when you press the brakes, the the noise is in the brake pad material. I have seen the inexpensive low quality pads have more problems with grinding noise than the higher quality more expensive pads.
