have you had the brake pads checked on the rear wheels?If it goes away
for a while after braking it could be the pads are worn down.

So, if the problem is with rare pads wearing down, could it make this
sound, when not applying brakes
and only while making left turn ??

The brake disc could be warped and could be touching the pad without
applying the brakes hence making the noise. It's when you mentioned
metal-on-metal that I thought of brakes. I'm not sure but if it was me
I'd get the brakes checked first and rule them out if they are ok.

Yeah, it's easy to check, and most brake shops will do it for free.
