The wheel sensor on that side is either dirty or faulty causing the ABS to activate. The noise can be the dust shield on the brake rotor is wrapped contacting the rotor when you turn.

Most wheel bearings now are made overseas or out of the country now, even Detroit Axle and Timken. I've seen these bad out of the box. However, it really depends on what this metal grinding sounds like. Can you post the sound here? Will be very simple to tell the difference between a hub bearing and a brake dust shield Dolby pointed out.
