make sure the brake rotor dust cover is not touching the rotors

i had a stone stuck between my brake rotor dust cover and it made a similar sound to what you are describing so check for that to

I reckon its your wheel bearings in the front left wheel. When ever you turn left there would be less weight on the wheel and there fore taking some of the pressure off the bearing which will stop it grinding.
