Default Odd noise from front end

Hello Guys:

Recently I have been having an odd noise come from the right front end of my car. When I am at a stop and then excelerate at a normal rate or when I brake for a stop sign or somthing, I sometimes get a noise that sounds like somthing metal is slipping or knocking. Maybe somthing is loose in the suspension? The wheels are always straight and this noise does not happen during highway speeds or over bumps. Just when slowly excelerating or brakeing.

Going to take it in but thought I would see if you guys have any idea before I head out.

does it sound like a rotational clicking?

is it more of a faint metallic whistle / grind?

Not a clicking noise at all...

A noise kinda like metal shifting with a clunky sound, just for a scond and the it stops it is not ongoing or anything

Check your brake pads. That is the main source of noise.
