2004 escape whining

my uncles 2004 escape with 4wd started having a whine in the front part of the car about a year ago. now its really bad. its not the front hub assemblies not ball joints or upper control arms and its not a cv joint. the car drives steers stops and shifts great. it sounds like metal on metal grinding you start to hear the grinding at 5 mph and just gets worse all the way up to 70mph. any advice would be appreciated.
im guessing its a bearing in the differential or something.

Not being funny but how are the front pads, or maybe a stone stuck between the pad and rotor
