Default Rubbing noise while driving (Worse when turning left)

Fix one thing, something else goes wrong.

Like the title says, I am getting a constant rubbing noise while driving, coasting or accelerating, doesn't matter. When I go to turn left even slightly, it gets a lot worse. I am having a difficult time telling what wheel it is coming from. I could swear it's coming from the rear but why would turning left affect the rear? I couldn't hear it any better with the windows up or down. Any ideas? Thank you in advance.

What maintenance did you do before the noise started?
