I had this once (a dry scraping sound).  Turned out to be a rock chip stuck
in the caliper assembly that was dragging the rotor.

Subject: "dry" sound from wheel

All:
   Noticed a "dry" sound when simply driving,; its not constant but becomes
louder when applying brakes.  Going to inspect the entire wheel assembly
today (if I can get the lug nuts off....soaking in WD-40 now).   Any
particular things I should inspect or things to look for?
