Default scraping sound when i turn the wheel

well last night, and a a few months back, i heard a scraping sound in the frontdrivers side wheel, almost sounds like metal on metal, it would only make the noise when turning to the left, after a minute it went away, i'm not sure if it was a rock or something that was stuck up on the rotater or anything, just seems starnge it would happen the same way twice and only when i turn the wheel, does anyone know what it could be, or have it happen to them before?
should i even worry about it?
i had the Wheel off the morning before work and theres nothing catching my eye, the brakes are fine, theres nothing let go, the brake lines are perfect, the calipers are fine and theres no marks on the rotaters.

What are you referring to when you say "rotator"? Because there's actually no part called that on your car.

It seems to me, that your tire is rubbing the inner fenderwell, which happens. It also may be your brake rotor hitting your brake shield, which just means you have to separate the two a little bit.

opps sorry, yea i ment rotor, so the brake shield, would that actually only rub when turning the wheel? it sounds like metal on metal, and after a minute or 2 it went away, same as last time, i actually found a empty parking lot and just kept turning to the left till a small pop and the sound went away.
