hard 2 describe....more of a metal on metal, but not that bad....it's a continious sound or something rubbing together.

Is it a continious sound when going straight also? If so, could be your rear brake shoes that need replacing. When's the last time the brakes were checked or changed? Here's a helpful clue. Look under the hood and see where the brake fluid level is. If it's low then you need a brake job. Don't replace the fluids as this is a sure indication. When the brake job is completed, and you retract the calipers, the brake fluid will go back into the plastic filler.

If your hearing it only when turning, you might want to have your bearings checked.
