Your ABS is cycling. It could be any of a number of problems. First thing you should do is get under there and check all of your sensor rings.

IMH Sounds liek two problems, the ABS as he mentioned, and a sticky caliper for the general grinding you are hearing.

Let your car coast to a stop, get out and see if any of the calipers are insanely hotter than all the others, that's the sticky one.

For the ABS problem, start with the sensors, make sure they are all equally gapped from the little knobby exciter ring that spins with the wheel. Measuer all 4, you will find one farther out of gap than the other three, set it back to the gap of the other 3. This happened to me, and I found one of my sensors was just dangling.
