So I since i came back from a 3 day road trip out. I started to hear this clicking noise around the front right side of my car. It's only noticeable when the windows are down.
And the clicking sound seems to start from 40-60km/h then starts to progressively click faster as i speed. Doesn't click as bad when I'm turning though, usually only driving straight.

I've been searching around and it seems it may be CV Joints but the clicking sound doesn't really happen when turning as far as I know, and it's not "that" loud either...might be a nail or a rock stuck in the tyre? if that's possible? Since I did drive in somewhat rocky roads (from Sydney to St Albans)

Any suggestions??

CV joints will only click when you make a turns...

try taking the tires off and taking out any stones stuck between the treads.

Yeh found a decent sized rock stuck tightly between treads, took it out and there was some idk.."rips" inside, but not deep enough to puncture.
Hopefully the clicking sound stops once i head to work, thx for the suggestion!
