Default What is this sound

So there's a clicking sound coming from my front right wheel. The sound itself sounds like the noise a torque wrench makes and it seems to happen every rotation of the wheel, regardless on whether im turning or not. Its reaally quiet though, I have to throw the car into neutral(aftermarket exhaust) and I hear it bouncing back off of other cars that are parked on the other side of the road.
I have jacked the car up and tried moving the wheel at 6-9 and 12-6 and nothing happens, I jacked the car up and rotated the wheel while it was in the air and the sound was not re-created. I tried to check if anything was rubbing with the car on the ground but I cant see much. I also checked the sway bar links and everything to see if its loose.
I have no idea what this is, any ideas?

Check the brakes, maybe a shim is not seated correctly. Might not be your issue, but its an easy place to start.

Probably already checked this, but all the lugs torqued properly?

Are you sure it is the front wheel? These cars are prone to have the rear wheel bearing or bearing and hub go bad and it does make a clicking noise. Have you done the axle nut retorque yet?
