update, sounds like its comming from the back of the car. does sound like the dics are scraping but their are no scrap/warp marks on dics!! any ideas

 

i've had a simlar experience once or twice, even caused me to stop and check that the wheel was still attached to the car...

apparently i read somewhere that bits of rust and stones can get stuck in the wheel somewhere and then they're essentially ground to bits - making a awful noise

 

Could be a wheel bearing, when you brake the pads pressing against the rotor reduce the play in the bearing

 

If it continues for a few seconds after you've stopped it can't be wheel bearings!
Maybe a noisy fuel pump?
