about a week ago my brakes staring making the worst noise whenever i drove. i can tell it is coming out of the front passanger wheel, but dont have a clue what it could be. the noise is a scraping metal noise that is constant whenever i drive, and worse when i back up, but goes away when i brake. i dont think it could be a cv joint because it gets a little better when i turn. im thinking it probably it is the pad letting me know my pads are almost done. any thoughts?

most likely your brake pads are worn either to the wear indicator, or completely(broke off wear indicator) either way you need a brake job NOW! Wait too long & you may need new rotors instead of a resurface on your current rotors. If you rotors have been cut too many times you will need rotors anyways.

Your brake fluid should be slightly low if pads worn & the fluid was never topped off.

I suggest Honda brake pads, not some midas "lifetime" pads - which are JUNK! The only time I suggest something other than Honda pads is for performance - EBC makes some nice pads.
