Thanks. Getting it looked at tomorrow.

Normally that'd be my first guess. But I've always felt brakes wearing down at least simultaneous with hearing anything, and in the past what I've heard has always been more like a squeaking.

And could worn brake pads account for a rhythmic scraping when I'm not applying the brakes?

I've only had the car for about 6 months so some sounds and feelings are new, but this sounds a bit unusual to me.
