Do you get the noise,when the car is not moving,do you get the noise,when you start the car,does the noise get faster or louder,when you rev,the engine,or if the car is moving do you get the noise when you press your brake peddle,only,or do you get the noise when turning

could be 2 things 1 could be that the alternator belt just wants more tension putting on it or could be the brake pads as the inner pads could be worn out completely and be metal on metal but you will only know this by removing the wheels and looking at the pads if it is metal on metal then you will also need the discs

if it is not what the other people have said it could be your water pump bearing which means you have to buy a pump and gaskit
