Default cars making strange sounds, I'd like your opinion

I'll try to describe the sounds as acuratly as possible so bear with me. It sounds as though its coming from the front passener side of the vehicle, this is on a 97 civic EX. there are 2 sounds the first happens when it's put in reverse and then pulled out of the driveway at a slight angle(the wheel turned about 1/2 turn either direction) it makes a mid pitched squeal, it's constant and as soon as I stop and put it in first( it's a manuel) the sound stops.

The second sound happens at a variety of speeds and it's an erratic sound so it has nothing to do with the motor speed. it's a series of small clicks fairly quiet from the front passenger side when I say click it's the best word I can think of it's similar to when you stop a vehicle and get out and you hear a ting ting ting sound only it's erratic and happens on and off when driving.

any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appericated, thanks
