Not sure what a "grating" noise sounds like to you but I would check........... That plastic shield under the engine might be hitting the wheels. Wheel bearings. Shield for the brake rotors.
I will ASSuME that you hear the noise while the vehicle is in motion.
Hmmh, usually that is either a wheel bearing or axle shaft.
Try bringing it to someone who might know what they are doing.
