grinding my discs???

my right front wheel has been making some funky noises. sort of like a hissing scratchy sound. only happens when rolling, it stops when i break. anyone have any ideas please?

most likely a bad wheel bearing. does it get quieter when you turn right, i.e. less weight on the right wheel?

Does it increase in sound as you increase in speed.

you can also lift the car up (with a jack) and try to shake the wheel, if it wobbles around, you have a bad wheel bearing.
