ABS light and funny scraping sound when gas is applied

Any idea what it can be? The scraping sound isn't constant, only when gas is applied. Sounds like it's coming from up front.

It's not the brakes. I had them checked. I'm thinking it's got to do with the trans.

Could possibly be a frozen caliper, try lookin at your front brakes. Might also be a CV axle.

Sounds like your ABS sensor is fouled and your caliper is being applied while driving.

It doesnt feel held back when driving. It does make the sound when reved in neutral. Strangely, it gets loudest at 1500 rpm then stops after that =\.
