00 Grand Am Battery & "Grinding" Issue

[aseverson]

There is a noise coming from the front end of my 00 Grand Am that can be best described as "the motor of a kid's wind up toy". The old school monkey that you would wind up and it would "walk". It seems to come from the front drivers side.

The same car just had a new battery installed. After installation, every thing worked well except the speakers; the sound quality is horrible. Even though it has nothing to do with the sound adjustment controls, I can't help but think that the speakers were blown due to the battery change.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Yeah sounds like a wheel bearing gone bad.
