scratching noise?

ok, this started recently where I started hearing a scratching sound on either my front left or back left wheel ... not sure what it is ... but it has been getting louder. It's not a consistant scratch ... there is a scratching noise every 1/4-1/2 sec or so ... so it's not there the whole time.

The only thing I can think of are my brake pads ... (...seeing as how I haven't changed them yet ... and I have 21k miles on my car...)

anyone have an idea?

I would take it to a Honda dealer. Seems you still have a warranty. Nobody can tell you what's wrong with it without looking...

its the brake pads, i had the same thing on my front brakes, and i have 21k miles on it.. you need new brake pads, cuz its like a metal on metal rubing noise.. honda wont cover pads and rotars and stuff... it cost me 160 2 have front brakes machined and new pads put on.. so good luck
