It could be. Take the wheel and drum off and see what the shoes look like. Then see how much you can move the axle up and down.

Re: help, noise when not breaking.

sound like front brake wear indicators to me. Your front brakes are probably worn down.

This is it.

Had this exact issue last week, loud metal on metal contact when moving, no noise when braking... just replace your pads and you'll be good to go
