Default cant track down front end noise, need help fast

So Ive had a grinding noise for a few weeks, I could have sworn it was my brakes. It sounded like just dragging or rubbing, nothing binding tho. It only happens when going under 30 mph and goes away the second I even touch the brakes. And the second my foot leaves the brake pedal, back again. What am I missing, Pads and rotors arent that old, maybe 6 months, and the pads have plenty of life left in them. What else should I check/consider.
