Default Strange noise while turning?

I've come to realise my car makes a lot of noises, most of which i've been told are normal. However this one doesn't seem right to me..

Only happens every now and then, but the car makes a chattering/clicking noise when i turn. Once i've completed the turn it's gone. I've done springs, swaybars, but i don't think it's related. The car feels fine, it's just a new noise i've discovered.

Car is an 05 STi.

Cheers

Make sure your DCCD isnt set on full rear or locked, or it will make weird noises..

The sound seems to be coming from the front. If i have the windows down, and i'm turning right, i can hear it as though it's right beneath me. It almost sounds like two pieces of metal touching each other, making a chattering noise.

I don't think it's diff related.
