clicking noise from front passenger side. HELP!

hey guys so just a few days back i started hearing this annoying clicking noise from my front passenger side. it just sounds like something clicking and it gets faster as i drive faster. i tired inspecting what the problem could be and came up with nothing and am here asking you guys what it could be. anyone know or have this problem before?

i replaced my brake pads this january so i know they arent worn. my rotors might be worn but probably not. besides that what else should i check for.

thanks for all the help

I've had a similar sound, I think it was just a rock stuck in one of the tires.. the clicking would go faster as i did. Then the rock must have fell out, and it stopped

I have this same problem but on the driver front...idk what it is and can't figure it out. Also, if anyone can help out with another issue I'm currently having in addition to the clicking noise..when the left side of the car drives over uneven payment/bumps and the right side is fine..i hear this metal sound, i wouldn't say its a banging sound but def metal touching or taping together or something

sounds like bearing or a arm joint going bad

the bearing that spins ur wheel. when u jack up the car try wiggling the wheel back and forth, left to right and see if it moves/ has any give. if it has any movement u have a bad bearing if u dont then try looking at the arms/ bushings

Rock! Knew it!

I did experience the same sound on an older car I owned as well. Turns out I had a nail sticking out of one of my tires *sigh*
