Noises problem
1995 Ford Contour 4 cyl Manual

My car has been in the shop for minor things and the latest was a busted heater hose. I noticed the other day a very dull noise and couldnt quite place it. Over the next few days, I havent drove it anymore then I have to, I have noticed when I start the car there is no noise. I place it in reverse and the noise is almost unnoticeable. Once I begin to driver, especially after driving a while, it makes this horrible grinding noise. I can feel it under my left foot. When I stop, the sound dies down a little. There has been a squeaking noise for a while when I come to a stop. The front brakes were just changed. Could the problem be my back brakes? If so, would the grinding noise continue even when Im not touching the brakes? Any other ideas?

It could be a brake sensor. Does the sound stop when the car stops?
