Grinding noise

I have a 2004 Mazda6 that has less than 30,000 miles on it. I just had the 30,
000 mile maintenance done on the car about three weeks ago and the
dealership gave everything a green check. I was on my way to work when the
noise from my front right wheel started. On my way home from work it was
making the same noise off and on. I asked my husband to take a look at it and
he played around with the wheel and it stopped. About three days later the
noise started again when I went over a bump or when I was turning my wheel.
It has been making this noise off and on when I'm driving. This isn't the
first time I have heard this noise. About a month after I bought the car I
had a similar noise coming from the same wheel and again it was random but
wasn't as loud. I have a friend, who works as a mechanic at a Mazda
dealership, look at it and he kind of played around with the wheel and it has
been fine until now. I heard recently that Mazda has a recall on some of
their parts. If anyone could tell me what is making the noise or give me some
advice I will be very greatful.

Sounds like the brake to me. But I'm not a mechanic.

If it's the same thing as my car & many others, there's a brake indicator
that'll make it's noise heard to indicate the brake pads are low. Get the
brakes checked. Prolly just needs new pads.
