My car sounds like metal is grinding from about 10 t0 20 mph then it starts sounding like I am in four wheel drive monter truck. It sounds like big mud tires on concrete. What do you think the problem is?

Hello,

Can you tell which direction the noise is coming from?

It could be the wheel bearing(s) that is faulty and making the grinding noise.
You can jack up the side you hear the noise and secure it with jack stands then turn the wheel, you will hear grinding noise if the bearing is bad.

Take a look at this article, you might find it helpful:

I have attached diagrams for your reference.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
