The grinding sound can also be heard when accelerating on flat terrain.
I've seen people suggest these things for a grinding noise on a Sportage:

It was the "Carrier bearing assembly" on the split drive shaft. I have a 98 Sportage. I bought the part from KIA for around 241.00. and paid 100.00 labor to have it put on. If I had to do it over, I would have went ahead and bought U-joints while my mechanic had the drive shaft torn apart. It is amazing how it quietened it down.
