Did you check for a rock or nail in the tread? Just asking, I've had it happen to me before where I was asking dad about it before even thinking about checking the tire it's self.

i got a rock in my brakes once... terrible terrible sound, i thought i totally messed my truck up but all i had to do is take it apart and get the rock out. i would suggest ripping the wheel and calipers off and just checking it...

Has this noise changed or progressed at all since you origionally noticed the sound?

Intermittant noises are very difficult to ID and fix. All I can say is tear into it and see if you find something anomalous.
