It's not a screech, squeal or grinding sound; I'd describe the noise as more of a "groan" and slight vibration from the left front when braking for a stop, most evident at slow speed just before stopping for a stop sign.

OEM front pads and rotors replaced within last 9,000 miles, and no signs of grooves or bluing on the front rotors.

I'd say it's more of a worn bearing sound that shows itself at slower speeds and under braking loads. After searching this BB site for symptoms, I'm guessing it's a front wheel bearing that needs checking and probably replacing.

Am I close?
