Default Strange Noise

For about the last month, I have been hearing a strange noise repetitive ticking type thing coming from under the car as I drive. I seems like some where near the front right o the car but that could just be the fact I have that window down. And it only starts the second I hit 80km/h or over. It doesn't speed up or slow down but just a continuous rate of ticking. Any ideas??

Have you got a missus that clicks her fingers at you??

Maybe telling you to slow down using some kind of noise projection to think there is a problem with the car maybe??

Or your front wheel may be out of balance cause a slight vibration?

A screw in the tyre?

Brake wear indicator making the noise?

How fast does it click, and how loud?

Tyre noise
Cv joint
screw / nail / stone in tyre
check that all the clips are still holding your front bar on properly
one or two clips may have broken allowing the bar to shake and rub somewhere
is the plastic under guard attached properly

Check the underbody plastics. I had 1 'plastic bolt' come loose and it would make this flapping noise when I was on the freeway.

1 zip tie, problem solvered.
