I have a wierd drivetrain scratching noise, it makes a sort of scratch or scrape noise everytime the wheels make one revolution. It sounds like its coming from the front right area of the car, but i cannot be certain. anyone have an idea what this could be? It just started yesterday and it seems to get worse the more i drive it? I can also feel a pulsing at the same time in the shifter.

Look under your car, start at the axles look for any thing rubbing on it or something caught on it wiggle them around and make sure every thing is tight, and check your CV boots. Do the same with your drive shaft if it's AWD. If you have a jack and stands jack it up and spin the tires, hopefully you can get a better idea of where the sound is comming from.
 
Check your brake pads. Sounds like they are worn down. Pulsating could also be a warped rotor.
