grinding noise

So driving home from work i hear this grinding noise? right away thought something was dragging under car but nothing there. Could be clutch but its not that deep grind and its just like a scrapping grinding sound. Now its done it 3-4 times but hasnt since. Im worried of course but car runs fine no cel what do you guys think? Thanks

No not constant at all. it would only do it under acceleration and didnt do it every time, i stopped prob 6 times between checking it and stop signs and now it wont do it at all. if it was my clutch i would think it would do it every time but i have no idea.

Can you feel it in the pedals or steering wheel ?
Or in the seat of your pants ?

plastic panel or metal shield under the car catching air when you accelerate and drag on the ground. when you stop and check, there is nothing to see. check for loose stuff!

Checked everything, cant find anything loose. And no i cant feel it i just heard it. Has not done it since though...could it just been my clutch acting up a couple times or something? Could it of been my engine or blower or would a cel pop up for a problem with them. Like i said hasnt done it since and car ran fine whole time

Mine was doing the same thing not to long ago. They said it was a bad bearing in the belt tensioner.
