The brakes on my Jeep are never good for years at a time. Now when I brake I get the sound of a giant flywheel rubbing against something slowing down as the vehicle is slowing down. It's certainly noticeable. No pulsating like my Jeep has gotten in past years before brakes were replaced. No tinny sheet metal sound from the wear indicator. The brakes probably have 10K miles on them. It's too cold to get into it for another 2 months. But if it were dangerous I would do something sooner rather than latter. Or use my other vehicles.

Sounds like your brake is dragging. Could be stuck caliper a seized slider pin or bad brake hose. Check the wheel with the most brake dust.
 
Hard to guess unless you take a closer look. I had similar issue and took a wheel off when it was 0 celsius out..when it comes to brakes..i would drive your other vehicle until u take a closer look at it. Safety 1st

The sound is in the front from what I can hear, which can fool one.

The rotors are Raybestos S-slot rotors.

I think the pads are Wagner ceramic TQ.
