Any experience with a loud scraping noise coming from the front passenger side?

What is your question?

Was starting to drive my car and there was an extremely loud noise coming from near the front passenger tire. It sounded like I was dragging a metal box spring mattress. The noise sounded very metallic. Had it once before and went away within a few minutes. The noise now has not gone away. If I brake it appears to get somewhat quieter but still noisy. Any ideas.
