Your tire is rubbing on something as you turn, you do not hear it and a stand still because your tires are not turning. Most likely you have a loose wheel well liner rubbing on the tire. Check both tires.

both tires are good. both wheel wells are stable & secure. once again, the noise(not metal or clicking) does not occur even while in a turn while holding the wheel in position. only while the wheel is being turned.

It sounds like a problem in your steering/pilot valve.
