Default help with grinding noise

just purchase a 97 es300 excellent condition however, on the second day of purchase it snow, i notice at 20kmh/14mph whenever i brake at a stop sigh/light i hear a grinding noise in the front brakes, i paid $40 at a lexus dealer for inspection they said everything was ok except the brake have 10% and the caliper sticking, they said the noise was normal abs and snow, still not satisfy i get another test done at canada tire the guy said everything was ok it was the abs and the snow, now there is no snow it's dry outside sometime when i apply brake still getting the same noise also now i notice if am making a u turn in the middle of the road and apply the brake slightly i hear the same grinding noise, never saw the abs light or any other indication came on.
