or you have some pebble stuck between the tire tread
most likely it axle ( don't replace cv boot cause it will make more noise) just replace the hole cv axle

If it gets worst when you turn then it's probably a cv joint. Take a look under your car just inside each front wheel you should see a black rubber boot with ripples like an organ. CV Joints don't normally fail unless the boot is torn and dirt has gotten in and grease has gotten out. So look to see if either boot is torn.

I had a clicking noise....pulled over and i found a huge SCREW with a flat tip in the tire....that's what the clicking was......I bet that's not your problem though.
