Default Clicking noise while driving

Ok so I have a MY01 and recently I've been noticing a clicking noise when I drive. It's not a single click I do get that every once in a while when reversing and then going forward. I've already retorqued the axle nuts. It's a constant clicking sounds like a stone in the tire and no there's none in there I checked. It's at all speeds gets faster as I move faster. But once you go like 60 you don't hear it anymore due to wind. you can really hear it if your driving next to a guard rail or embankment. I jacked the car up and did the wheel wobble test to see if it was the wheel bearing but no wobble at all. The noise it there thru turns going straight doesn't get worse turning in one direction or the other. I have no idea what it could be so any and all help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Justin

Did you replace the axle nut? Or just retorque it?

So I pinpointed the noise to the right rear. Anyone know how to check if the wheel bearing is bad besides wobbling the tire at 9-3 and 12-6? All help appreciated thanks.

It might be your rear diff... it happened to me once while downshifting to lower gears.... my car was making a lot of clicking noise so i took off the nut to the rear diff and a lot of little metal pieces came out.... got it replaced and never heard clicking noise again... if you check everything and its fine, just go ahead and drain your fluid from your rear diff and see if its ok... if you see small metal pieces then its your rear diff...

I'm pretty sure it's the wheel bearing. It's coming from the right rear. And it's def a rotating noise. It's like a clicking noise and starting to squeal a little
