I'm hearing a scraping sound similar to brake pads grinding against a rotor. The noise is heard when the car is moving very slow. the strange part is I can't hear it when I'm outside the car walking along side it while it moves. Inside the car it's plain as day. Axle\CV joint?

I had a mudflap do this. I thought it was the awd going, so tightening the front mudflap was a welcome fix.

FWIW.

...or a wheel bearing (another possibility)...

I'm thinking that but its not you typical wheel bearing noise.

Have done any brake work recently? If so, check the dust shield on the inside of the rotor and make sure it's not touching the rotor. It is common for these to bend and touch the rotor while doing a brake job.
