Does the grinding noise happen all the time and get worse when you press the brakes? If so this is the brake pad that is worn and needs replaced.

Here is a guide that shows how to do this:

If this is not the noise then here is a guide that will help with grinding noises in general:

I also attached below the process from the manual on how to replace the pads. if this is the issue then you will need to replace the rotors as well.

Lastly can you get a video of the noise which will help us figure this out?
